Pics Of My 07' XLE V6 On New Wheels And Tires

[JoKeR718]

Heres some pics of the new wheels and tires i finally got on my XLE. Got 18X7.5 Konig Unknowns with Falken ZE-912 tires 225/45-18. Also had chrome door handles, chrome tailight and headlight trims, and painted the brake calipers red. What you guys think??

VERY nice!!!!!! The rims are awesome!!! So is the chrome!

[PhatRoyale]

Take away the red calipers, and it would be BALLER!

how are the chrome trim holding up? do the ones around the door handles and the side seem flimsy?

[secrecyguy]

Wow! I could tell you love chrome! Excellent work!

Is that your family in the background sitting down on the stairs?

[JoKeR718]

Thanks for the replies. No secrecyguy, that is not my fam in the background. The neighbors were out enjoying the new rims. Akide, the door handles i dont believe look filmsy if by filmsy you mean dull looking or what not but maybe in the pics they do however, you do have to keep em polished to have em shiny. As for the headlight and taillight trims, they are a little touch that make the car stand out. I put em on since the rims come black and chrome and i had to add a little bit more chrome to the car. I like the taillight trims more than the headlights but if i did one, i had to do the other.

hey JoKeR718, i mean flimsy as in when you hold or open the doors, does the chrome pieces seem like they're not on very solidly etc..

[JoKeR718]

Sorry i misinterpreted Akide but i dont notice the fact that the door handles are losely held on. In fact it feels like they're really stuck to the original handles. They are however held in there by 3M backing tape but im not disappointed.

i like the rims very much but not digging all the chrome.
it does make the car stand out from the rest of the crowd.

you should of probably just painted the calipers and not the pads.
its fine though, when you need to replace pads they will be more notacible if you dont repaint them, unless thats the way you prefer it.

Needs a drop.

I'm not big on chrome, but it looks good. The only thing I would change (if it were my car) is I would lose the chrome around the upright sections of the door/window frames. It's a bit much, IMO....but sharp ride!!!!

looks right at home from where you're living

Looks great! The only thing I would have said is only paint the caliper, not the pad itself.

I was looking at the headlight and tailight chrome trim, how do you like it? And are the handle covers pretty sturdy?

Im not a big fanatic about dropping the car but I really like the way it stands now, I do live in New York City, best known for its outstanding potholes EVERYWHERE!!. As for the headlight and taillight trims, they were a little touch to add some more chrome to the car to match the rims. I do like the taillight trim more than the headlight trim. The handles are sturdy and also make the car stand out a bit more as well. The pics were taken right across from our house. Fortunately this is the best parking spot on the block since no cars can park in front nor in back of my car. Dont want the unnecessary scratches and all on the body. Thanks for all the replies.
