rim opinions please

hey guys, im looking to pick out some new rims, and wanted yalls opinions. my car is silver(sorry i dont know the color code), so keep that in mind. here are my options. i cant decide if the black will look better on my silver car, the gunmetal, or the flat silver look. if anyone has any pics that could show me the different looks it would be much appreciated.

none of them. They are all 7 or 7.5 wide. That means you have to put some narrow tires on them. Looks wise, I like the second one

ok so does that mean that if im looking to keep my stock tires for now, i wouldnt be able to put any of these rims on them? also, would i need spacers to push them back out to where the stock ones sit, or would it be the same as the stock ones. i dont want them to be too far in from the fairings. any other suggestions for rims that will fit the stock tires from the stock TL rims for a reasonable cost?

+1.

To answer your question, the stock tires will fit the rims. But, going narrower than stock width on tires is plain...not advisable.

17 inch rims with a lip will look terrible on a TL. You're better off staying stock or painting your stock rims. The stock rims are 8" wide and the tires (235's) already look narrow. You can probably get away with putting the stock tires on a 7.5" wide rim, but theres really no point. Save yourself and don't buy any of those wheels.

If you're entertaining non-17" wheels, buy mine...they look like option D, sans the CF
