Rimmss

Well, i have been thinking about rims for a long time now, and i need some input from my fellow TLers (and some pics plz) of multi-spoke rims on a TL. I have a CGP, and i just want to see what color would look good. i have been looking at Enkei and 5Zigen's. THANKS. pics would be appreciated.

oh, and i want to keep my wheels, so 17s would be nice

and i have heard that GUNMETAL would look sick on a gray car...

17's are hard to pull of on a TL. I wouldn't get anything with a chrome/polished lip first of all. That will just emphasize how small the wheels are.

Actually, I think the TL-S stock wheels would be great. Their gunmetal too.

big red thingy is the lip. The thicker the lip, the smaller the spokes, the smaller the wheel looks.

but lips are good on bigger wheels. Think18s or 19s

Gunmetal would be the best thing. I was looking around for rims but I will stick with stockies for the mere fact I have to parallel park every single day. If you really want rims i just think you should just sacrifice selling the whole package and invest in at least 18s

yea, ill prob just go with Type-S cuz it matches my car's color. Then ill change the lugs to like red or blue, add some nice big brakes with red calipers. Once you get started, you just keep on spending. yea, and def no lip.
