03 TL-S Rims Black Powder coated
Here are my new to me 03 TLS wheels that i just got powder coated. The guy did a great job.

Will install as soon as I find good tires for it.

The car is Nighthawk Black Pearl. The rims are black, its just the light that make them look gunmetal.

Ordered tires from tirerack, they should be here Monday. Will install then. Trying to figure out if I should paint the center caps of leave them silver??

Tires will be in tomorrow, and probably installed by the end of the week. Hoping sooner, but I am working all week.

definitely CL-S wheels

TL-S wheels are bit more...

"puffy" and the spokes are not tapered

I'LL BE!! You are right.. I guess I did not look took close into it. I only paid 150 for the set, so no big deal. I'll see what they look like on..

Great observation.

you should consider painting the calipers, chrome window trim, grill, and door handles black too if your going with an all black theme.

Sorry to say or maybe it is just me, I see a lot of cars with black steelies wheels, and those look like steelies without hubcabs. it would be nice if it was gunmetal like the first picture, and center caps are definitely in need of touch up.
