Yeah I like the Anthracite (guess that's what it's called) I've found a few places on the web that still have them, i'm leaning towards them.....your car has been sitting in the same spot for a few days now, wondering where you been

Haha yeah, lives about two houses down...yeah i think the gunmetals are the way to go. I looked into the black market...nothing in a staggered setup so i'll probably have to buy them new...not too bad, Al found me a price of 2300 with some tires

I was going to put the hyper silvers on mine, but they are out of stock until August. They told me the anthracites were available, but I think they are too dark for the ASM.

Yeah gonna see if I can black my headlights out this summer some time. They are out of stock on the hyper silvers? that sucks...the silver look does compliment the car well...I think the anthracites would be unique though

Either color would look great. The gunmetal would definitely look good but I personally think the hyper silver would set the car off beautifully. There was a member on here, cannot remember his name, but he had some hiros in hyper silver, I believe, on his silver TL. Let me see if I can find the link.

thats type-s09... that color face has been discontinued. its gun-metal, or hyperblack or something like that....

you can only get anthracite or silver
if that color combo was still available, i probably would have had these wheels staggered instead of what ive got know. i love that finish on that wheel

there is a guy, from the west coast i believe.. just throw the silvers on his ASM type-s.. looked good... it was "bright" though.... my opinion, the type-s needs darker colored wheels... to keep that aggresive look to it...

nim, you thought about the RJ legends at all? in liquid graphite... i think that would look pretty slick on your car... i dont think there is an ASM TL-S with 19" legends LG or 19" satin silver inspyres.... a bit cheaper then the hiros too... but if you go hiro, my vote is anthracite...

yes i believe so

all 1pc cast wheels should be TPMS compatible no problem, because the valve stem opening is close to the edge of the wheel

2pc and 3pc wheels are different, and the valve stem opening is usually smack in the middle of the barrel
