Does anyone have black rims on a Night Hawk Black Pearl TL? I'm considering black rims on my black TL but i dont know if the all black would work out too well. I've seen many Black cars with black rims and they look hot, but i dont know if a TL would look hot.

Anyone got any pics of black rims on NBP TL? please post

TL260power

i think it would look so hot.. I am thinking about doing this too.. Selling my chrome rims that i have now and buying black rims with chrome lip.. Being that winter is coming and snow, salt, sleet, all that stuff i have to take off my chrome rims.. i wanna have some rims all year long.with not worry about it getting messed up with the snow and salt..

either one of these two i was thinking

i think that would look really hot something different and tl260 i would go with axis all the way

TL260power

axis all the way yea but they only sell it in 18 x 8 with i think 45 offset.. So.. dont know about that..

was hoping for a 18 x 7.5 with a littlemore offset..

mikey3.2

yea that sux what about goin with 19s they would look hot

TL260power

nah 19s too big and can feel more shake and slow down the car more..

TL260power

for 18 and 19s they come with 8 inch width

big mike 13

I think he has hyper-black rims correct me im wrong..... The other guys got the idea.... Straight Black rims... nice rim choices guys

Heres Tatewaki's car i think... (Sorry I'm posting without his permission)





Specifically what im looking for is Mesh rims, but I'm not sure Black Mesh rims would go well . Heres the regular silver axis mesh rims. Use your imagination to think of it black

Saw a black TSX with black rims that had a polished lip... Must say i wasn't a fan. Looked clean but something about it didn't click. Silver would have made a better color for black IMO...

hey guys
dont be afraid of putting an 8 inch wide wheel on you car wiht a +45 offset!!!!
i have a 19x8 axis wheel with a +45 and im lowered 3 inches and only thing i had to do was roll my rear fenders-but thats because i am lowered 3 inches, i wanted to tuck. there is guys on here (boku) he has an axis wheel that is 19x8.5 with a +45 andh as no rubbing issues. dont believe some of the things people say dont be afraid of using a +45!!!!

I just dont get it. I had 18x7.5 rims with a +42 offset with 225/40 tires on a 1inch drop and I rubbed. I had to cut the fenders. I don't see how someone with 8.5in wide rims can not rub. Just doesn't make sense.

rolinacura19

boku has a 19x8.5 wheel with a +45 offset. now he could have rolled his fenders but i dont think he has. i no from ym set-up right now i have a 19x8 wuth a +45 and im lowered 3 inches and rolled my fenders so i could go lower.

while you are on AI, check out DO11AR's car. he's got some black rims on his NBP.

TL260power

any more NBP with black rims???

Jput

I have an NBP and I was gonna get these rims (Maya DTS 19 or Trafficstar if you are in japan):



and either leave them as is or paint them like so

bacardi151

I wish it wasn't $3k+ for Mayas...

AsianRage

Yeah, but then quality is quality. I'd shell out the kissash if it weren't for the fact that I gave it to my GF already...

rolinacura19

they make an ssr wheel just like that, that might be alittle cheaper. hard part is finding a good ssr distributor. i no my shop cannot get ALL ssr wheels. if i were you, if you cant find a wheel you like in black, buy a 2 piece wheel with rivets and just get it painted and tape the lips off. i have done that to a set of my c4's and they looked sweet. Let me no if you want any prices on wheels!!

siMpLe_n_cLEaN

anyone know whos car that is???? do you have any more pics of this car???

TL260power

You know i was thinking of doing something like that. heres a photchop version of my wheels i did.. An idea of how it would loooked if i painted it black what ya'll think

dark inspire

that looks sick boy! id definately do it

TL260power

but what kind of paint should i get? i was thinking maybe the color of my car?

rolinacura19

i wouldnt paint the color of your car-paint it flat black. u gotta think about re-sale. that black car above is just flat black or gloss black

big mike 13

isnt the durability not good when you paint it yourself? wouldnt it be prone to chipping and easy scratches?

TL260power

i would like to know the answer too

dark inspire

i would get it professionally painted that way if anything happens your ass is covered.

TL260power

shit how much would that cost

dark inspire

hmmm im not exactly sure, but im guessing somewhere between 2-300 dollars. not sure though. someone got their rims powdercoated, i dont remember the price. but that might be another option, im not sure which one is better.

rolinacura19

200-300 bucks damn who is your body shop guy?!?! i got mine painted for like 75-100 bucks. especially if you tape of urself theyll even do cheaper. paint has clearcoat on it and is wont just chip off. u would have to have a rock kick up n hit it direct. and even if it does chip after a while so wut its cheap to get em painted. for the look u get its definately worth it. but im partial because im a rim whore

dark inspire

thasnk bro for clearin that up! i was jsut estimating.

rolinacura19

hey no problem
powdercoating is a much more permanent process by the way, but you can only do that with a 2 piece wheel. powdercoating is like a big oven.

I saw it on a post a while back thats where I found the pic.
