I like the first ones a bit better.

My personal favorite wheels for our TL's is the Legend GS wheels. They are 16 inch and look GREAT. Here are two pics...

I like the Enkei wheels better, your first choice.

I just got 18" Enkei RS5 put on my 3.2, i've been riding around a few weeks with no problems. ..no rolling fenders!

Don't listen to me because I'm not a big wheel guy or whatever, but I like the second ones. The first ones are too busy with the bolts and the hub cab, etc. The second ones look smoother.

If you want something that looks similar to the enkei rims then get the 2004 TL rims. Heres a pic of it...

The 01-03 TL type s rims are koo too. I have them in chrome. I'll post pics of it after my cars out of the shop.

i have giovanna corsica in 18inch

i love the rims because they look like they belong on the car. almost like the accessory rims on the 2004 TL

i dont think there is a better choice - but thats my opinion
