I can't hear the car...the music is in the way. :( I wish music was never in a car exhaust or dyno video.

That sounds great. Maybe a touch loud at idle, but fantastic at WOT. You don't have emissions testing in Texas, do you?

We do in certain counties. The DFW metroplex requires it, but people like myself know ways to get a passing grade. *wink* You don't seriously expect my Camaro to pass inspection. :lol:

My impression of the TL is that is has a good bit of bite to back up the bark too 👍

The midrange is very stout. I like the TL's, I just wish they were RWD or AWD. I would buy one.

Rick, now all you have to do is cam it.

Looking into it. P2R wants to sell a set for $700, though. :sick:

JCE, I was working on re-uploading the video, minus the music. However, my browsers (FF & IE7) close whenever I try to upload a video on YouTube or Vimeo.:ouch:
 
So, once again, I am looking at wheels, but rather than start another thread about my options, I am merely looking at this set.

They are Rev Model II's in 18"s. They are, essentially, CE28N design knock-offs, & black w/ polished lip, a combo. I've been really looking into choosing. I know some will tell me to just go for the real deal, but I don't have $1,300+ to spend on Volks (& as of lately, the only Volks I want are grey TE37's :scared: ). I would if I could. :ouch:

I like my stockers as well (won't sell 'em for anything), but this gives me a chance for some 18"'s in this finish. They're being offered locally for $375 on Falken ST115 tires with the owner offering a Kumho SPT tire, and do need to be refinished & powdercoated which shouldn't run too more. The wheels in the pictures are the exact ones as well.

A few personal friends like the stock wheels & some think they'd look sick. So, merely wondering GTP's opinions.
 
I don't like those hugely multi-spoke wheels. Especially in black. I really like the stock TL's wheels myself actually. If the center bore was the same I'd put those on my van. :D

Any other wheels you'd be looking at?
 
I'm personally not feelin' them. For some reason I don't really like the polished lip combined with the black spokes. Maybe if they were solid black I would like them more, but I don't know. But it's your choice, all of this coming from a kid rocking fake splits on a euro car.

None really. The only other brands I've been looking at that I can afford are TSW's & SSR's.

Other than, figuring I'll just throw the money towards an A-Spec rear bumper.
