Your car and your money, but to me those wheels looks like crap and look extremly cheep, and they have a dumb size 7.5 in wide, i think our stock wheels are wider, and the offsets are pretty lame

+1, black wheels on a black car especially get lost in the darkness and you can't even tell that you have nice wheels on. May as well roll on steel 16s with some fat ass tires.

Also, NBP is not a true black paint so black wheels don't match up well in the sun.

Your money your car as already mentioned. IMO I would look for something else. I have seen people pull off black on black such as the above. There are a few other examples lurking around the board.

To each his own, I personally like Black mesh wheels on black cars, ala Buick GNX and other such models. Anything, in any color can look good if done right. Those wheels though, not so much.

Depends on the style to pull off black wheels. But Ebay wheels, c'mon! Everyone and their grandmother have Ebay wheels on their 300c's and Monte Carlos around here. They dont belong on a TL.

I wouldn't either. This wheels look cheap. There are some really nice black wheels but a good portion I see on the road are the cheap ones.

I bought a set of $300 ebay wheels for my last car (it may have even been that seller, same shot angles and backdrop) and they were basically crap. The lips started to oxidize like no other in less than 6 months and they were cleaned/waxed regularly. I eventually gave up and they were destroyed in no time.
