How You Like Me Now?!!...w/ 19"s
Finally got some pix of my 2004 TL SSM/Quartz with Navi. Just added 19"x8.5" Axis Milano's on 245/35/19 Falken ST115's and Comptech Springs with a camber kit. What do you guys think?

So how was your experience dealing with Wheels Boutique? I've heard both positive and negative things about them.

Wheels Boutique did a great job. Got a great package price on wheels and tires and they arrived when they said they would, within four days. I've had bad experiences with other wheel companies, but i highly recommend them. Good luck!

Just wondering if 45offset or 35offset will give a deeper dish to the rim??? Plus do you have any side shots of the rim so we can see how deep the lip is??? I did not like these rims before until I actually see them on a TL now and they look great and perfect for the car.

the only thing i don't like about them are the spokes, they are square all the way out to the rim. i'd prefer a spoke that tapered down some. but that's just MO.
they do look nice.

I've always wanted to see those on our car.......I have the same question regarding the Brembo's. You may have to put a thin spacer to clear the brakes. I hate the spacer idea, that's why I was going to go the custom route. However, after seeing how nice these look, I may have to reconsider. They would look real nice on a WDP. I also recommend getting the Tein adjustables to get that thing sitting just right. Good job!

Terse, its 3M "Platinum" with 20% in the rear and 35% up front. Appearantly the film is thicker than most other films and therefore is a little more scratch resistant.
Dean & Pearl, I'm not sure if they clear the Brembos. I do know that they come in both a 45 & 35 offset if that helps.
I like the fact that I could get the Comptech's installed by the dealer and retain the factory warranty on the springs. The Tiens are nice too, but cost much more. The front wheel gap is a bit more than the rear but I'm happy with the way it came out.
Thanks for the compliments

ED99, I don't think the lip is any larger with the 35 offset. The wheel just stick out like an 1/8 of an inch more. I was told that if I planned to lower it that it may rub. So I went with the 45 offset which sits flush.
EMCJTL, No rubbing with the Comptechs
Kyle, I don't believe they make 19's
Thanks again for the compliments guys! I really appreciate them!
