Those are nice wheels, why would you want to get rid of them?

Congrats on your Type-S. Awesome rides. Welcome to AZ If you do decide to sale your wheels, please post them up in the Black Market section.

not bad, not bad at all... good luck keeping it clean though! HAHA, no sah, but honestly, if NBP wasn't such a high maintenance color, I would of loved to have it.

congrats on the ride. good decision on selling the wheels though. i know i'm in the minority here, but a TL-S just don't look like a TL-S without the original gunmetal waffle wheels.

to me a tl-s doesnt look like a tl-s without aspec body kit, nice wheels and a drop.

I agree that the TL-s is just not the same without the factory wheels. I will possibly have the wheels for sale soon as I have enough post to do so. thanks

See, I think the same thing-only with the Base TL, not the Type S. The Aspec Kit for the Type S gives the headlights the bubble-eye effect, to me.

That's why I've stayed with the OEM wheels-they SAY Type S. Still, the wheels you've got DO look nice. You should have no problem selling them in the Black Market area. Heck, you can PM some of the guys in this thread that have expressed interest, when you're ready to sell.

Congrats on the Type-S!

The rims look good but we need some closer pictures of them! Like others have suggested, put money towards tint and a drop
