Thumbs down

It would look ok on some cars.. but not the black TL.

Maybe if you had a white TL, you could pull it off..
The blue is ok with it too..

When I see white wheels, the first thing that comes to my mind is not luxury or styling..

IMO, Don't do it.. it will deminish the beauty of your car..

Thumbs down Rims

IMHO I don't think white rims will look good on th TL....

If your car was white....for sure, maybe even the blue would look good with the white wheels, but not BLACK!

You'll get some people turning there heads, but for the wrong reasons....If you look close and read their lips"WTF"....

I saw a Black Accord with a white body kit and wheels, boy was it freakin ugly.....

How about for my Diamond White TLS?

What wheels are those? Size, weight? I was thinking of getting some 18x8 wheels for my Diamond White TLS. Should they match my car color, or just an off-white? I want some light, one piece wheels that I can put 225-45-18's on (I think that would be the right size).

btl you go ahead and do what you feel like,
i plan on doing something like that, its personal preference

I wouldn't...

I've been in the car wash business for 12 years. Unless you plan on cleaning those white wheels on a very regular basis you will be in trouble. There is NOTHING UGLIER than white wheels with caked on brake dust.

Also, for those of you who would consider white wheels on a white car, make sure that the whites are the same shade. The look only works with a very close match.

Personally, I'm a black car, chrome wheel kind of guy...

This is a 15 yr. olds OPINION
I prefer black car with chromes, but white rims wont be too bad, cause they willl stand out and give a clean simple look. On a white car the other hand, black rims look very nice, they are nice but dont really show off or display the style. I have a white TLS, and thinking of chrome soon. If i put a 18 inch, then what would the thickness of my tire be?

40? or 45?

thnx

Styling TLS has white Volk Racing rims on his WHITE TL-S. It looks pretty nice. But I will not go with white rims if I had a black car.
