http://www.wheeldiscount.com/product...num=1&xlarge=1

does anyone know who makes these rims and if they will fit on a 2002 tl-p?

i am thinking about the 18"

btw, what bolt pattern and offset should i look for if going with 18's?

Any company that would recommend 205/40-17 for a 2nd gen TL should be selling vacuum cleaners instead.
Bolt pattern 5x114.3
Offset dependent on wheel width. 7.5" > +45 8" > +50

Do a search...you'll find lots of answers to your inital questions.

For 18" rims ... 235/40/18 (closest in circumference to Type-S 215/50/17)

To avoid issues with rubbing (if your offset isn't correct) ... many people go with 225/40/18 (but the thing is, you have less sidewall to 'protect' your rim from bending when it hits a big pothole.)

Decisions, decisions!
