7.5 width?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you know if having a 19x7.5 would look strange on the TL or should i try to find a rim that is 8.5? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

The rim in question

If any of you guys could photoshop this rim onto a NBP TL, that would be awesome.

I'd get wheels that's at least as wide as the OEMs.

The wheels would be unpropotionate in respect to the OEM wheels.. as the height of the wheel rises, the width should rise

yes for some reason there are not that many choices out there for 19x8 that are cheap and good
but i wouldnt go lower then what is OEM. 8 is good but a tad wider is better especially for summer driving.

I'm looking for a set right now to put on TL *still on order * but i dont feel like spending an arm and a leg on wheels. But i come to realize that in price i'm looking for and style there are not that many choices. Plus you might find the rim but then the offset is bad. So there is always something.

Seems like if you want the good stuff you need to dish out the loot.

Ok guys... I think i found one that I like... This rim is 19x8.5 but I have a choice of offset, either 35 or 45... which one is going to look better or is it going to matter?

35 offset will be pretty good. Might rub in the back. 45 offset will position the wheels approx in the same position as your stock ones (about 1/4" outward).
