Hey guys. Im new here! Just picked up my first TL 07 base. Thinking about changing the wheels out. The color is abyss/royal blue pearl. Please link a set of wheels you think would look good. Color choice is up to you. Thanks!
In all seriousness, take a look in the photograph gallery. You'll find photos of almost every possible model of wheel on a 3g TL. We don't know what sort of wheel you like. I honestly suggest getting either a set of TL-S rims or 18" A-Specs, they look the best.

I agree with Marco - but i'm not a fan of the Type S waffles, or the Aspec wheels, that's just me, but, at the end of the day, it's your taste and style that counts, the new wheel and tire thread is a good thread to review, lots of reviews posted on there
Are white rims too 'ratchet' i guess, for lack of better word...??
White wheels on a dark blue car are a bit much, but everyone is different. Do you want to look 15, 35, or 55?

Yes, just use the plus system for your tires. In fact, the Type-S comes with 18's, and they are the most preferred size wheel on Acurazine for sure. 19's cause you to either run rubberband tires, or forget about the OEM OD.
it sucks to not be able to see what it looks like in real life before spending the money
I like those, and think they'd look great but I don't think they're wide enough either, like VisualEchos said. The same wheel would be better in 9" or even 8.5". You'd be happier and would have a larger range of tire widths to use.

I think they will look great. I kept trying to link the tirerack page that shows an Abyss blue TL with those wheels but it keeps reverting to an '07 Caliber. Why are you looking at Caliber wheels?

to drop the car, do i need to buy a part or is it just labor?
You have to buy a part for the first time because OEM ride height is not designed to be adjustable, but after that it's just labor. The part is usually "coilovers" but there are other options like Koni's adjustable spring seat.
I'm still partial to Ronjons, if you can still find them.
Like these? I need to get them refinished (and repaired) and at least one of them is bent from the craptastic pot holes in Tampa. They are just collecting dust in the garage.
cool! gonna look into coil overs! thank you sir. how many inches should i lower a stock 07 to fit well with 18x8.5's? im not trying to graze the ground, just a little lower lol.
and yo ggesp, those are beautiful man!. I was thinking of either that color or going silver, not sure if silver would look good too
for some ideas on lowering - I am running 24" from ground to fender lip in front, and 24.5" in the rear, on BC coils - wheels are 18x10 +25
Some perspective - I am on the end, the ABP next to me at stock height, the WDP TL is in ISC coils not sure his drop amount, and the NBP in stock height
Here is a friends ABP on 18x9 Rovos Durbans in Gloss black
Here is another ABP wheels are Varrstoen ES3 19x9.5 color is hyper black (credit to Jonathan Williams)
then he had them painted a slightly darker color (credit to Jonthan Williams)
lastly the wheels shot -
mine - 18x10, ABP 18x9, WDP 18x8.5, NBP 19x9, and the ASM is 20x8...just for size references too
good luck sir

car looks great! Did you get the decal for the bumper cover from endlessrpm? Saw it on their site and was curious how accurate the size/dimensions are with the indent.

if you are referring to mine yes, i did get the bumper decals from Bruce - I paid for 1 and he sent me like 2 or 3 in case I made mistakes lol...but yeah I got them from Endless - the current one has been on now for a year

Haha well that's good to hear because I'd likely eff up the first one. Looks good though. I've been trying to find something in a mint green to go with my accents, but I might just order it in white and see if I can paint the decal or something.
