Nobody??? What color should I powdercoat these wheels? I broke 2, had another Graphite and found one in Opal so I need to PC all of them to match.

Matte Black or Hyper Silver?

True. Those do look really good on those cars, but I just wouldn't do it to my TL. Just my opinion though.

Oh my Lord....

SSM's look good with gunmetal, silver, black, & chrome rims. IMO
Its all about what you want your TL to look like.
Check out other SSM's & see what you like. GL

So I went with Satin Black and did the Brembos, rear calipers and rotors in silver. While I was at it I sprayed the Acura logos and all of the brushed aluminum satin black. I'll post pics later when the lighting is better

I would invest in a drop now. (Springs & shocks or Coilovers)
Drop it & see what it looks like then. I like the brembos & painted
calipers BTW.

I'm selling the car shortly and had to do the wheels because of https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/your-thoughts-tsw-wheels-734519/

I need to find some black Brembo decals to set off the calipers.

The satin black was a good choice. Makes the car look sportier... I'm not really a fan of aftermarket wheels, but yours are nice.

Depends on the car design. Those black rims look sick on that porsche but I don't think black is best on the TL, imo gunmetal or silver look better on SSM.

I definitely recommend gunmetal. I'm loving it on my Tenzo's.
