For you car's color, I vote flat black wheels.

flat black would look dope...but a different shade of grey from his TL would look two tone like...HAWTNESS!

I am liking the flat black option with blue lugs. I thought the XXR's were too matchy and that's one of the reasons I changed them.

I would try and get a dark silver that matches my original gunmetal aspecs...there is something about that color, not too dark, not too light and when you clean them, they're mesmerizing.

Flat black, IMO, looks like a dirty black wheel.

don't tempt me to buy another set. There is just something about wheels with a lip that appeals to me though

Bro...Not for nothing...But when I was first starting my TL, you and your TL inspired me in design. I believe I wanted to buy your wheels. From the simple painted murdered grille to the gunmetal grey wheels. I remember I took a pic with my phone of the big close up pic front driver side angel with the wheels turned to the rt and kept it on my phone....till, shit just maybe a month or so ago. And I am talking approx 1.5yr ago...I don't quiet remember when u had those wheels but it was in between 1-2yrs ago... I loved it! And subscribing to your build thread reminded me of that pic once I saw it again.

Was looking at some TE-37's in gun metal or takata green but there is something about mesh wheels with a lip that just appeals to me. Then mr jayvee brought up back the XXR 527's which doesn't make things any easier Going to plasti dip the vs-xx's to see how they look and go from there.

damn you all set in that case !!!

PS even if you plan to "paint" your wheels, use PD as a primer, so if you dont like the wheel color, you can peel it off so that opens up a whole new world of color for u
