Found this guy on ebay...

GOT WHEELS AND TIRES
1-866-353-3932

Why 18's and not 19's? I considered them both. In the end, I just liked these wheels and decided to give it a shot. I had 18's on a previous car, and they looked just right to me... and besides... the price was right.

Next up for me is an A Spec suspension.

Update: my buddy talked me into the 19's. Luckily it was not too late to trade up. $1435.

I'm a friggin nut case when it comes to decision time in customizing my cars.

Sick rims, and you'll really appreciate the 19's when you get them on.

Nice...19's are the way to go for our cars. 18's is a good size but to me they look a tad bit small for our TL. Are you going staggered? Be sure to post up pics when you get the wheels.

Yeah, i saw that being organized in the meets section. That sounds fun, I will try to make it out there (translates to 'must check with wifey').

hey, i got 2 of the wheels on wednesday, and i think the other pair are coming today. dunno why/how they got split up... I'll try to post some pics this evening after i mount em up!

here's the finished product!! 19's on 235/35 General Exclaim WR's

still got some more stuff i wanna do including dropping it... but this is a start!

i kinda dig the silver on silver look. chrome's just too blingy for me. the chrome lip adds a nice touch though imo.

Looks great .. good choise. If you experience rusty water coming out of the small holes between the lug nut holes take the wheel off and put silicone in the hole from behind .

Tein S.Techs... 1.3" drop, on stock shox. So far, I'm pretty happy with the ride. A little stiffer, handles sweet, and not rough at all. The wifey couldnt tell the difference!
