I've been considering painting my stock 08 wheels white on my NBP. Never seen white rims on a black TL, so I thought I'd give it a go, though I'm not a big fan of the stock wheels for 08.
red pinstripe you could buy anywhere like advaced ...just make sure the edge of the wheel is clean and go around the edge of the wheel with the pinstripe..ive done this with several other wheels i had and it looked real good and held up just fine

someone on here has white enkeis on their NBP TL...looks amazing...but you'll probably have to drop/add spacers for it to really look great.
look on the photography forum...i think the thread's labelled got rice? or something rice.

just sanded them down with 320...cleaned them with a good prep cleaner..i used some cheap 99 cent walmart primer...then i used a duplicolor rattle can...name of the paint was gunmetal gray..it wasnt a specific wheel paint tho...then put down some duplicolor clear(not the wheel clear...that stuff gets cloudy if you put it on heavy)they came out nice

Can someone post an SSM or ASM with painted stock wheels? I've seen 2(?) thus far, lol. I kind of like the gloss black that the white TL had on the second page but with a red pinstripe on the edge of the wheels like the black TL had.

For anyone wanting to see what there car would look like with black wheels, Try a product called plasti dip. Its not paint, its the material used on handles of pliers (the grip part). Its easily reversable, all you need to do to get it off your wheels is peel it off. Tons of people on other forums have been using it on there wheels, grills... I've even seen a thread before where someone painted their whole car with it ( not a good idea )

I powdercoated the 3G TL wheels white and that's my current winter set-up on my SSM 7th Gen Accord. I've been meaning to take and post pictures for a while now but I'm so busy with work I don't have time to give the car a wash for proper pictures. I may have tonjust take some with the car dirty because it's not getting any nicer here in Michigan.

Still wondering what other colors besides flat black would look good on a NBP. I saw bronze and heard about white, but not sure how those would look. Has anyone tried gunmetal on NBP?

Thinking about doing my Type-S wheels a flat black, havent decided it I want to paint them like that or powder coat them. Thinking of maybe trying the plasti-dip method. That comes out kind of a flat color right?
