With them SS, you should go lower to compliment the wheels more.

Looks good nonetheless. Very nice setup you got there.

good job, the size of the rims makes it look good. Had it been any smaller it may look stocked. Looks clean.

I think I saw you coming out of Northlands when that car show was on last weekend.it was the exact same car as yours and I was parked on the side with all 4s on waiting for a friend.
I live on the north side and I got a 99 TL. stock and keeping it that way. My front got destroyed this past winter going to work on anthony henday and yellowhead from all the rock chips that its not worth it repraying it and I also got rear ended where it cracked and scratched my bumper.

That wasnt me, maybe there is another TL around similar to mine.

Yes these are SSR Vienna Noble rims. Zweels are a great choice. You should get them.

There is a noticeable difference between stock rims and having these 19's. Acceleration seems a tad slower from stand still, but when there is a rolling start it feels similar. The ride is not as comfortable as stocks buts it still very tolerable. With the new rims the TL feels more "glued" to the road as well.

The offest is +48 im running a normal disk in the front and low disk in the back. So far no rubbing and i have made no modifications.

you can go low disk in the front and rear^ if you have bbk, highdisk.. disk is the distance from the back of the pad of the wheel to the back of the spoke, high disk more clearance for the big caliper.. low disk allows for slight bit more lip.
