Anyone lowered on 16s?

Okay...I want to get rid of my ugly tl-p wheels and lower my car. I really want to do 18s but I do not want to buy the wheels, tires, shocks, and springs lol I couldn't really find anything in a search but is there anyone lowered on 16s? Do you have any pics so that I can get a idea of the look?

I already have 16s on the car. If I upgrade to 18s I would have to buy the wheels AND tires. I also want to lower the car so thats new shocks and springs. 18s on a unlowered TL is fugly so I want to do it all at the same time which means I will be spending hella cash. So I wanted to see how the TL would look lowered on 16s. Recession style upgrades

Lol after looking at the lowered cars on 16s, I am just gonna suck it up and get 18s but stay in 4x4 status until I can get the suspension I want.

Its amazing how a drop just makes wheels look so much bigger..wow. And these 16 wheel having folks probably have a ride just as smooth and spongy as a muh fucca

Im lowered on 16's...
I previously had 20"s on it on stock suspension.(made my TL ride like crap!!!)
So 16's with new shocks and springs feel like heaven to me right now. I plan to get some 18's in the future also.
