    They both look good to me Just make sure they have a fat lip like those, and it'll look good.

    Yeah Black or Chrome with a nice polished lip would look great, Just depends on the look your going for, If you want the show bling look, you should go with the chrome.... But if you want the elegant stealthy look, I say black fo shizzle!!

    I don't know what those are in the pictures, but you probabaly can't fit anything that's bigger than 8.5 in width with an offset of 50+ to prevent rubbing. I know for a fact that you can't on a TL and bit more room with the CL. From what I've seen on acurazine and acuraworld.com, most other RLs have no more than 2-2.5 inch lip. Never expect a deep dish out of Hondas...

    btw, black wheels are PITA to keep it clean...good luck!~

    damn leave for half hour and were up to page 2. Im really thinking black with a chrome lip, deep dish..I guess it really depends on price. If the chrome with a deep dish isnt mad expensive, then I might go with that, not sure yet.
