I have 20's and it's a hassle. Once I get the cash and have an opportunity, i'm going to 18's. Need more sidewall in these houston streets.

20's can look good on TL if done right with a drop, on a show car. No way if you plan to drive on Houston streets. IMO 19's are even a stretch for a TL Houston DD, if reasonable comfort is a factor.

I'll be at memorial or pine crest tomorrow. Lmk if anyone wanna join.

Umit, I was on 20 lowered for a long time. Looks VIP slammed. No issue except loss of mpg.
I'm on 19 coil overs and it rides great. I'm pretty sure 18s are ideal for my sc but I think the TL look better with 19s or 20s

NOOO!!!

I just got it last year, no mod or anything yet. Yeah, lots of them are around southwest area here as far as I've seen.
Planning to pay it off in 2 years, then I'll start some nice modding on it

So the question was asked in order to find out if anyone Houston had or is currently running on 20inch rims... I do admit that I could've been more thorough in my post but oh well... To all that did reply, thanks for the help I got my answer.

hehe thats not your real question.
Why is that you want to find some one with 20s?
what are your concerns about 20s?
etc.


I enjoy challenging people.

Honestly, I wasn't into modding back then but since I got this car, for some reason I want to mod it lol. And I don't doubt I'm going to get the bug soon enough haha, I've already plan out what to mod on the car later on.
