if I find some nice ones for a good price I will get them for sure, otherwise I'm leaning towards A-spec kit 1st.

Thx...well I only have appearance mods and that's what I'm going for...I don't bother with performance mods.

That's good...I had some aftermarket wheels from my previous car...They were gunmetal w/ chrome lip, but they not appeared too small on my TL so I sold them.

Thx...I painted them myself...I used Dupli-color High Performance wheel coating..two cans(about $6 each), 1 can of primer(about $5), 1 can of clear coat($5). Before I started painting, I completely sanded down the wheels to almost bare metal. I put about 3 coats of primer, and the next day I painted them by putting on a light coat, then a medium one, and finished off with a wet heavy coat, and after about an hour I put two good coats of clear coating..So it can all be done for about $25 and a day of work..I did everything slowly and carefully and waited between coats...

Welcome ABP. I have the same exact colour with the same penut butter interior. Checkout my photo album to get an idea of what the A-Spec kit looks like in that colour. Also, I had my wheels painted black as well but clashed with the color of the car. I ended up getting nice RJ's. Have fun.

Hey Thx...I looked at ur album and I'm really liking the A-spec kit on ABP (shows all lines nd details very nicely)...I am looking into some aftermarket wheels as well nd when I do get some, these stockies will be for winter use...Btw great looking TL u got there, very clean...Keep it up.
