That's a nice looking rim. I like gunmetal with chrome lip on wdp. I have the same color combo.

most of the time, wheels look way better when they a photochopped and touched up. I think you should wait to see if some one has some unaltered, real time pics of the rims in different settings (like in the sun light) they may look good in the pics that the supllier gives you, but will look cheap and horriful in real life.

IMO, I don't really like them. you should look at the Volks from tire rack, they look nicer.

I like the original set-they should look good on your color TL.

I noticed you said you had a WDP, so I chopped a WDP car... I hope Alex TL doesn't mind I snagged a photo of his car from the album and chopped it :p

Inserts are the pieces on the spokes. Checkout TireRack. They have same wheels with different insert colors.

Anyway, between the two, the one without inserts looks cleaner and more aggressive, IMO.

I hope you didn't take my last post the wrong way. I was just stating that they look similar to the MB wheels found on those vehicles.

I really like the wheels and the chops back up my opinion wholeheartedly. I say go for it

Decision Made

Ok guys I have made the decision of going with the ASA AR9 Rims in 19 inch and with the carbon fiber inserts. I can always take out the inserts if they don't look good anywayz I will post pics with and without the inserts.

Can you photoshop this one avs007. Thanks.

Here is a TL with a better angle than the pic I have, you can use this to chop, it looks identical to mine except I don't have those rims and my vehicle isn't slammed.(YET)

Sorry for making the car look staggered, it was hard finding a good image of this wheel for the angle the rear wheel is in this picture... But you should get the idea well enough...
