Wheels make a car. Leave the stock wheels and just lower it, if your gonna change them you really need to do some MAJOR SEARCHING and look through many places to find the perfect match. Its a tough job but with the right eye you can spot the ones that go with the body lines and color of you car...just cause some rims look good on one car dont mean they will look good on another! my

sounds like you are ready to buy something in haste. probably not a good idea.

you may not think the TL is a sports car, but neither is it made to have "baller status" or whatever people call it now these days.

just save that 2-3 grand you'd spend on wheels and tires and put it towards a 6speed swap, your car will be more reliable and fun to drive!

then also don't buy wheels just because they are cheap and they came up for sale, you won';t like them down the line

wait around and save up till you find a set you really like then get them, and be happy with your purchuse 2-3 years down the road

Because the car just does NOT look good with larger wheels. The wheel wells just arent large enough for 20+ to look right. 19s for the most part are the largest you can really go without it looking bad. Some have pulled off 20s but very few.
Not to mention the suspension, brakes and the transmission werent designed for that much weight (20-22-24")

Take a look at the wheel wells on cars like the Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300s, BMWs, full size trucks, etc. They look good with big wheels because they have big wheel wells.

Bottom line, the donk look on FWD japanese cars is . In all honesty I don't even like it on cars like Caprices, Buicks, etc. Nothing appealing about a 4WD sedan.
depends on what else you got on your whip, and what the shoes look like. If you can pull it off do it, dont listen to the nazi conformist. Rock your whip how you want it.

See, people that ask questions on here should believe what we tell them. We're not trying to diss their taste, we're trying to help improve it. Hate to see another Donk TL driving around.

The biggest you can roll is 22x9.5 35 et with 255/30/22 tires, thats what im rolling. Dont talk crap about guys trying to roll big wheels, personally i think dropping your car into the weeds & rolling 19's looks stupid but to each his own, SO RESPECT THAT!

his hyundai will run circles around your sharty tl. especially when the trans fails from the extra weight. ever wonder why none of the cars you see featured in legitimate magazines never have chrome 22's and a lift kit?

other than DONK magazine. sorry buddy, but your car looks like it got attacked by a red sharpie. proof that you can pay for school but you cant buy class
