They should look fine. Apparently this style is pretty popular nowadays.

Unless you're slammed with a full A-Spec kit they're gonna look like ass. IMO anyway.

Don't paint them black! Black wheels look goofy with NBP in the sunlight.

I would paint them NBP so they will properly match the blue pearl in the NBP paint.

Personally I think they'll look fine.
Also, throw some tints on it ASAP.

Since there are so many different ideas he could do and there is no visual, I will help the subject. I threw some style in the photo, why not?!
Current Rims on car.. also added tint (just cause I had to do it!)


Dark Grey / Gunmetal (My pick )


And Bronze, I figured an NBP could get away with it

Gunmetal, Tint, and raise that front end up a tad...

I think bronze looks good on a "tuner" type wheel but this is a NICE looking wheel...make the car look luxury sport. A guy a know has a Silver Ford Lightning on this color blue 23's...looks SICK! I don't think black can really pull of a large color change like that when they're both darker colors



And sonofabeotch....I hated the a-spec kit when I was first searching for TL's. Now I kinda want it on mine with some 19's or something. Ugh...
