I dont think there are any threads on just black wheels, but this one will give you options for all types of wheels....

Disgusting car which belonged to a very weird member. Do not imitate!

Wheels are Advan RSII if I remember correctly.

Edit: NVM, Work Emotion XC8? He had too many cars and wheels.

bro. there are literally MILLIONS and MILLIONS of styles, colors, specs, and prices.


YOU, yourself need to figure out what style you like, what colors you like, what specs you like, what price budget you like....

MILLIONS of options here. MILLIONS.
it would be futile for us to suggest something, because we dont know your needs and wants and goals.

LOL! honestly, I wouldnt have gotten wheels if the perfect opportunity didnt show itself.

OP, It took me 5 years to figure out what I like and dont like and what the perfect specs are!

my buddy bought some TE37's off another one of our friend's EVO...only he has an STi and STi's and EVO's dont have the same lug pattern. FORTUNATELY for me, the EVO shares the same lug pattern as the TL......
wheels were laying in his Garage unused, so I asked and got the homie hook up

I agree man. The opportunity arose for me with the advans, so I had to jump on it. But at the time I didnt know shit about offsets, drops, fitments etc. Came to realize the offset at +45 wasn't ideal when slamming the TL so I had to play around with the suspension, camber kits, rolling fenders and spacers to get it right. To this day my fitment is still not where I want it.

So moral of the story do a lot of research first and really figure out what you want out of the car before jumping into a wheel purchase. Or youll end up like me spending more money to get it right.

I think the best specs for the TL with a moderate drop is 18x9 +30 to +20 or like 18x9.5 +30 to +20.

it just so happened to be, that the TE37s that were just collecting dust was the PERFECT specs at 18x9.5 +22

I couldnt have asked for a more perfect opportunity



I was ALWAYS ALWAYS against colorful wheels....but I couldnt pass up these beautiful TE37's in the perfect specs....
and you know what?

white is growing on me!! I love it now!!!
and as stated, the surface is repaintable and I can choose to repaint if I want too
