Freak, I'm not sure-especially on a black TL....usually when you do something like that, you need something else in that color (white) to carry the theme through. Have you considered a silver wheel or chrome?

There have been a couple NBP 3G TL's with white rims. I think it looks ok. But the brake dust is going to be horrible.

You won't know till you've tried it. I say do it!!!!!! lol. Look at it this way... If you paint your stockies to white and it does not look good you can always repaint to another color. Again just a thought...

Assuming some people won't like it (not necessarily here, but "out there" in real life), are you willing to listen to whatever crap they're going to throw at you for doing your own thing?

I say give it a shot. The only thing your loosing is time, energy, and money for paint cans... not a huge gamble if you ask me. You can do a pair and test one side to see how you like it. If it works out good proceed.
