Finally happy...new rims again
I got a new set of rims, after waiting nearly 4 weeks for these to come in. They are Forgestar F14's in gunmetal. I originally thought that I had ordered riskier offsets, but these are more mild, and I actually like them more. The fronts are 19x8.5 +34 and the rears are 19x9 +30.
Forgestar is the sister company of iForged, for those of you who haven't heard about them. The rims are flow formed, which is similar to forged, as in weight and strength, but isn't as costly. I am really happy with these, and I like the slightly more aggressive stance these rims yield. I am stretching just slightly in the rear. Here is a quick pic I snapped with my iPhone, I should have a more proper shoot next weekend.
Please feel free to give your honest opinion.

Looks good in that pic. Looking forward to more to see how the rest looks. Congrats on the new wheels. What did you wrap them in?

Baller dude. 
Dammit everyone is getting new nice shit for their TL. My bank account doesn't want me to have new shit. Kudos to you for buying new shit.
Those rims really are not like anything I've ever seen on a TL. I really dig the look. What are the tires?

Thanks for the great comments guys. I'm visiting some family in San Francisco this weekend, so pics won't be available til Tuesday the earliest. They are wrapped with Nitto NT555, 235/35/19 all around. I need new tires really soon, so I'm going to upgrade the the Invo's and probably get 245/35/19 in the rear, but stick with the same size for the front. What do you guys think?
And yea CJ, I looked all over the place on this cite, and I haven't been able to find anyone with these wheels. I got the rims for only $1200 since I transfered my old tires. My boy Tim at Elite Auto Werks got me a great deal on these, seeing how the cheapest I found them elsewhere was for 1500. I am really glad with the choice I made, and don't see myself changing this in the near future.

That looks awesome. They look like some AC Schnitzers. Looks bmw-ish w the wheels ha.
btw , which i found weird myself cause the invo out performs the nt555 hands down imo, but its actually a cheaper tire. ha i just said this on the last thread i wrote in but the invo is one of my fav tires. theyre awesome. Favorite part is the reduced road noise. Theyre so quiet, i love it .. Bouta get anoter set soon also actually.

Just Like Mine
But not really... mine are actually RS4, but 18" and not dark like yours. Wow, yours look awesome, I might actually consider powercoating it to your color..
I mus say, yours look so much better
