It depends what your personal preferences are, not what we think. It would help us make a decision if you posted a picture of the 19" wheels you are considering for your TL-S.

I have the 18" A-Specs and I love them. Eventually I'll get a set of 19's but they aren't worth the money as of right now.

Keep in mind that tires for a 19" wheel are usually more expensive than tires for a 18" wheel.

I don't have a 19" rim in mind yet... I heard that it might be difficult to find a set that fits properly becuz of the bbk.

Five spokes seems to match the TL i guess...

That's probably why I like the 18" A-Specs. Too bad they didn't make it in the 19" size. That would be sweet...!!

sure would. they look good in 18" but would look AWESOME in 19". i have the 18" ebony a-specs and i still love them. still not a scratch on them and it's been almost 2yrs. GL whatever route you go.

You could get the 19" RDX A-Spec wheels. You'll need to run either a 5mm or 10mm spacer up front to clear the brake caliper.

The RDX A-Specs come in chrome or silver. They do a look a little different than the regular A-Specs, but overall have the same design.

Are you interested in performance or just looks?
