But i haven't even found any nbm tc that has any black wheels... Anyone out there that can post some pics??

Also... put your input on what wheel you like better

I only painted my wheels but as you can see, Black and Blue is Beautiful.

i personally dont like either, but i would get the tenzos if i absolutely had too lol

the polished lip kills both wheels, i like all black better on this color car

damn the stock wheels painted black don't look too bad... i might just do that and save myself 1600 dollars... i like!... i wonder if it would look even better with the lip painted chrome

just buy new wheels

not everyone has a gigantic wallet, and if he powder coat his rims its just as good and long lasting...

obviously he has the money if he was originally looking at getting aftermarket wheels

Just remember, the TSW probably isn't going to have that much lip on it. Websites use rims 20" and larger to show off the lip. You see it on the site, order them, get them home, and are sorely disappointed that they don't look as good as on the site.

Anthracite and Gun Metal would be a nice alternative to black also. :lalala:

nbm looks good with the chrome deep dish lip and black wheel imho

yeah x2^^

manufactures photos always try to emphasize the lip. I also think that the tenzos look amazing in those pictures but not so great in person. Make sure you look around and try to find some pictures of them on some other tcs before you decide. I wouldnt use the manufacturers picture to decide from
