What color should I paint my wheels?
Since all four wheels are scratched up pretty bad I'm going to paint them. I was thinking about a anthracite color like the newer Type-S wheels. Here's a pic of the car as it sits now. They are TSX wheels btw. Opinions welcome, I'm not looking to go too radical I like the understated style. Like it could have come from the factory like that.

I think these wheels would look great if you were to paint them the same silver as your car. It might be hard to match the color though....

If you want to keep it looking like it could have came from a factory then just paint them gunmetal and call it a day...

Does anyone know the color code for the TL-S wheels? Is it anthracite or some variation of it? I did some searching but couldn't find any specific color codes.

Bronze like the HFP wheels. Or spend a little more and get a new set up.

No TL-S wheel color code? I really like the color since it is darker than gunmetal but not too dark...

the tl's wheel color is anthracite, the same color as my car, I used to have those rims and I had the little touch up paint thingy, and it was the same exact color.
