get a pic of your car with black rims before you go and spend the money...

I like blue with black but I strongly prefur blue with silver or a chrome..

I've got a black TLS and wouldn even consider black rims with my car, it's not my style I guess, I like black rims on a white TL.

If you are powder coating the rims why don't you go all out and get them to match the paint on the car?

Suggestion: Depending on the wheel design, I would love to see a blue powder coated wheel with yellow accents and matching yellow calipers. On a bule TL....Damn that would look sick!!!

WOW...that link had a lot of good technical info on it, did not think it was that much work.

I am not sure on the exact shop I wanted to it, still looking around for a good shop and getting quotes.

Thanks for the pic ResidualFreedom. Looks nice, now that just has me thinking that the spokes on the cls are to wide and not look right. What do you guys think?

I don't really want to get it chrome because, it seems like it wil wear down
