Black Rims for Black '04 TL 6-MT A-spec with Brembos

Can anyone suggest a nice set of 5-star or 6-spoke rims for my ride? I'm trying to find something mostly black, especially around the circumference of the wheel. I'm interested in spokes that connect at the edge of the rim rather than at the lip.

You can check out the TENZO, XXR, RONJON, WEDSSPORT WHEELS and WORK WHEELS site for starts. It also depends on your budget. But in these sites you will have a variety of wheels and prices.

The Enkei Imola's I picked up are looking fantastic and the Firestone Wide Oval Indy 500's are really responsive. I'm super happy with all the research and time spent on this upgrade. I'd post a pic but I think my account is still too new for that.

Black on black is fine... as long as the headlights aren't TINTED black along with the tail lights. If you're going with a black wheel, may I highly suggest powdercoating or painting your brembos another color?

I also suggest Forgestars CF5, it's semi-concave with a simple classy 5 spoke style which meets the very edge of the lip, maximizing the 19" diameter sizing.

yes painting the brembos would give a little bit of contrast to the full black on black theme. and i agree about NOT tinting the headlights and tails. tasteful contrast...i like those rims, as well.

Sorry bro I'm NOT feeling those wheels at all. 1 the offset looks worse than stock, idk if it's the angle of the pics... 2 the wheel design looks like late 90's "tuner-wheels." Honestly if you going to go with a throwback look... Do those forgestars in all white on a black tl, modern spin on a old look.

I'm digging the Imola's, man. I like the spoke style and how they show off the brakes. I have a set coming in this week, but they're not going to be silver or black by the time I mount them on my car.......
