Lookin for Wheels

I'm having a lot of trouble finding the perfect wheels for my 07 TL-S. I'm looking for some white ones w/ 1 1/2"+ lip. I know Lexani has some nice custom ones but I would imagine they're very heavy & expensive. If anyone knows some good websites w/ a nice selction I would greatly appreciate it.

Lexani? Please don't.

It's going to be hard to find a set of wheels already white. You may have to buy a set that you like and then have them painted or powdercoated white.

my buddy on his g37s got axis super penta I think or what ever the ones with black middle are called that look like axis penta. Then he got the paint shop to paint the lips the same white color the car is. It would have looked crazy except the shop messed up on the offsets and the wheels didn't fit. He got a full refund. But that's something I would do with a white car. It was my idea for him to do that too

Thanks for all your help guys. I do like the Axis Penta wheels. I'll have to look into the other links provided. Also, will the loss in speed if I go to 20s be noticeable? If so, what's the biggest I should go without sacrificing performance?

From what I know, it's hard NOT to lose power when going from 17" OEM wheels to 20" wheels. Most guys on here don't go any bigger than 19" on their TL's (and even 19" wheels can make you lose some power, unless you get some lightweight Volk, Works, etc). But the people that go bigger than 19", are not really concerned about the power loss; they do it for the looks.
