I believe those are the best looking wheels available for our car today, period. Go with 19".

My only experience with Falken tires is the Lexus dealer put them on my dads SC430 and he hated them. Not sure which kind they were. I have Kuhmo's on mine and love them. I would look up on Tire Rack.

A while back I photoshopped a pic of Supergreen's RL with his 19" Ron Jon Legends since I was curious what my RL (also silver) would look like with black Legends. Although the car isn't white, it might give you an idea of what your RL would look like with black Legends.

i don't like that "black wheel" look on teh RL. i've seen it on other cars where it looks okay, but to me, it looks "wrong". I expect to see that on a slammed Civic Si, or an EVO, or maybe an S2000. not an RL luxury sedan.

i think the Legends in the more standard silver finish would look nice.

white RLs are gorgeous.it was my first color choice but I couldn't find one with black interior, CPO, low miles. so I went with Carbon Gray. Honestly, I think the RL looks great in all the colors, but white and Lakeshore silver are neat colors. gray and silver were my next two favorite colors...and since I got black interior, CPO, low miles - was all too happy.

good luck with your wheel decision, post pics of what you end up with. check out some of the ronjon stuff - he has some nice looking wheels - designed to fit our cars.
