Paint the faces black or body color and lower it more. It's a nice sporty TL, but not really vip styled as you mentioned yourself.

Thanks for the comments. I know its not VIP but I try anything. I know there are more aggressive offsets that some other members did like REV but I really dont have the cash to go crazy just yet. I bought the white for now cause I loved the SSRs. I wanted to go back to 19s but vegas roads will eat them for breakfast. I already went through 3 bent wheels. I know what direction I need to go but Im just crusin for now.

I want to go air but I really need to save for that little at a time.

REV - what setups have you ran before? I dont see you past post on azine. I had to really roll the rear fenders and pull them a lot to fit the rears. They were sticking out quite a bit. Any help would be great.

it looks good i dunno if im feeling the wheels with the color of the car. i think thats whats turning me off on it a bit. it looks like they are white wheels on a gun metal car. which i could see on a civic or integra but on the TL i think you should go with a bit of a classier wheel

Yeah it seems I am getting that comment a lot haha. I bought the wheels to actually test out the fitment. I wanted to see how low of an offset I could run. The white was actually not planned and when i bought the wheels it seemed like a silver since the pics was a little dark. I will be refinishing them later when I have some available cash since the white is chipping here and there. but Im thinking of a black or dark silver.

any suggestions as to what colors you think would match? i dont really want to go color matched with the car since it looks too blah.

Nice looking TL, maybe if the wheel were another color it would look better.

sup J,

i aint a big fan of the white either, but its defs a shot into something new. your fitment isnt weak by any means, but what would really help is enhancing the overall stance of the whole picture. lower with some mild spacers could do wonders. fits nice IMO, as my silver diavo's are nearly identical specs.

dont forget, our cars will never be VIP, using this forum and vehicles on it are good ways to impliment such styles into our platforms though.

fkn hopefully see you in the summertime man ! peaces

Yo I like TL's, they have great body lines and imo are the only hondas offered wit luxury attributes. I would swap back out to the stocks, and sell your wheels. While your under there lower it 1-1 1/2" and use the money you get to pick up some nicer wheels. (do it here!) There are lots of wheels you can get great deals on and most erryone is straight up. You can ask the community for vouches. Lets see some changes...and g/l

Not sure if want....

I don't not like it, but it's like there's one thing that bugs me but it's not obvious.
I think.. maybe.... are those as white as they could be, or are they a bit yellowed?

I think it would work perfectly with more drop, and chrome bolts in fresh white for the wheels..

^dude speaks truth...

Definitely not feeling it right now...fitment is alright, though.

Now with that said, I think for AcuraZine or something, you're on point.

Don't shoot at me, I'm a BIG acura-fan. I've got a kouki KA9 i'm working on... IMO The only Car Honda ever produced that can be VIP'd and Hang with, or even shine on, more established VIP cars.

Work a lil on the TL, it's a nice start though.

Wow! I like the wheels that is for sale. I am thinking of going back to 19s. I need a pretty strong wheel though. Vegas roads tend to eat wheels. I know hart wheels cant take the abuse here. I bent three wheels. Are SSR or Works in the 19s strong? My SSRs in 18s are pretty stong but i have more tire. any suggestions?

I would go lower but I have to buy a front camber kit. I am researching which camber arms would give me the best adjustment. with the offset im in now it rubs. I cant really adjust the front much. the rears is no problems. I daily drive my car like 40 miles a day so thats the reason for it not being totally slammed. I wouldnt mind if i had air which is on my list of things but I cant afford the system just yet. But any one know who had strong wheels that can be daily driven and take the abuse?

Thanks for the comps guys! I know the white throws it off. Just wanted to be different in some way. I know its not VIP and it never will be but I figure ill try and come slightly close.
