personally, i do not like black rims.

my 2 cents, go for gunmetal color, it really suits nbp.

my suggestion is look at ronjon legends or inspyres

I have never like black rims on any car .. they look like an extention of the tires and to me presents a black void on all 4 corners and no matter how clean they are kept the car never looks clean.

Sorry my

chrome has been played out since the 90's...everyone and their mother has chrome. and mine don't blend into the tire because they have a chrome lip.
but i like to change my rims every 1-2 years so we'll see what i have next year...

i wouldnt mind a black rim if the TL was actually black, but since it is not it sometimes looks funny. if you had them painted to match the NBP then maybe, but i agree with others and would rather go with a dark gunmetal over black any day.

there's nothing wrong with black rims...it's gotta be the right set of wheels though...but if ur car is NBP go with black w/polished lip or i also like that time attack style...it looks mean ass HELL!!!

I'd say it depends on the wheels.

I've got an 04 NBP with black TSW 5 spokes (18" Mirage) with a chrome lip and I think it looks great. The chrome gives enough of a seperation between the tire and wheel to allow everything to stand out.
