I'm indifferent. Cool rims, not sure if I like black though.

I like chrome rims best for Anthracite cars, it really wakes them up, black on the other hand just adds to the "dirty" look of cars that are grey.

I would say thumbsdown on all of them. Poor taste. Please don't put 6" tailpipes and rice out the TL.

No TL should have chrome wheels IMO. Chrome is for cars made last century. Black would be cool on certain colors. I like anthracite wheels. Those wheels in particular I don't like. To each his own.

I am so a fan of colored wheels, I love the first pic. I would love it even more if it was on a black TL. I saw a black TSX with black wheels with the a nice polished lip. It was hittin! The polished lip complimented the polished badges and grill. I say go for it, definitely different!

I'm with Mobilezen and digital; I think it's a major step down in looks. Call me crazy, but I love the finish of the stock wheels.

Damn! From the title of the thread, I thought I was going to see more sweet girl pics.

Personally I agree that the stock wheels look better than the ones you've cropped in. But hey, whatever you like, it's your car!

I think those look good. Probably because they aren't black. Man, the TSX looks just like a TL that didn't make it out of the garage before the door closed.

Your right, it is to each their own. Aftermarket wheels or modding period are like a love it or leave it thing. My brother looks at aftermarket wheels on nice cars in disgust. Like why would you do that to a 30k car? Whereas I look at it as a must to make it unique from all the others. Sad to say you see some people put some ridiculous wheels on nice cars and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. No aftermarkets for me this car, no more money into the TLS.

SSR Vienna Sovereigns...I've been looking at those myself....Now they definately look better because of the accenting. Where did you pick those up? Nice choice.

Get the SSR's and powder coat the spokes gloss anthracite.....That would be sick..

I don't know about black wheels with anthracite, something looks off..

By the way, did you order these from Bob??

I think a wheel with straight lines would do good for this new gen TL becasue of the edgey styling. Just like the RIMS on the 04 TL on the title page of this message board.

The wheels that work for the 2nd Gen don't work for this car. They just don't look right.
