aspec rims black chrome vs silver

Hey guys,

There are just too many pics of the aspec rims and because of picture quality, weather, sunlight etc they all seem to be the same even though they may be different.

I am wondering if someone actually have pics of the rims of different colors ON PHOTOS OF THE SAME LIGHTING/SAME COLOR CAR so I can see the difference.....having trouble picking aspec rim size/color for my 06 TL (only have 18"s? silver and black chrome the only 2 colors? i am not sure...)

Thanks.

What color TL do you have? The Sparkle Silver are almost a match for the Sparkle in the SSM or ASM color TL's.

Aspec rims are 18x8 and are offered in Chrome, Black Chrome and Sparkle Silver. I have the Sparkle Silver and very pleased with them. I don't like Chrome, so I went with them.

Tomorrow should be a nice day here. I can post pictures if you want, but can't for the others.

^^^ You might want to go with the black chrome. I think it would match better. They are a couple hundred dollars more than the sparkles for the set.

those silver rims look nice.

according to a fellow member here with an 04 TL, he said he has the 04 gunmetal color (which looks extremely sexy) and that color is only offered in 2004. i wonder if the 05-06 gunmetal looks nicer than the 04...

the gunmetal 18x 8 1/2 is the best color out of all. I have them on my 06 anthracite with the tpms sensors on the rims. They match so good with my car. I am planning to sell them because I am gettting some 19's. Trust me, they will look sexy on a TL!

They only made the Gunmetal Aspec Rims in 2004. They changed colors in 2005 and made the rim 18x8 instead of 18x8.5
