OEM look 19" rims
I have a 2006 TL with what I think is the s type trim, but not the motor. Rims, lip spoiler, navi, etc. I want the same rims it has on it now only I want them to be 19s rather than 17s. Does anyone have any idea where I can find them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I haven't heard the Type-S style rims come in any size other than 17", regardless of who makes them. Question, why do you want to change to 19" wheels? You do know you're going to degrade your acceleration, braking, and transient handling if you make the swap; yes, no?

Yes, I'm aware of these detractors. But I don't race my car, like at all. I like it specifically for the dependability and looks. I am convinced that those same rims in 19" size would look clean, original and just improve the overall look. I'm not into aftermarket parts at all. I like things that look clean and oem.

Maybe it's just me, but large rims wrapped in a thin black rubber band on a Gen 3 TL will look anything but original. Bling, yes; original, no.
As for the detractors, you never know when the say, 10' braking distance will mean the difference between an accident and a close call.

I just want the same style rims it has on it, only 19". The car would look as close to oem as possible while having 19" rims. Please reply if you have a suggestion as to where I can find these and if you've ever seen them. Thanks in advance.

TSW makes similar looking wheels to the OEM waffles. of course, not exact copy. but will look VERY similar.
19 inch wheels and 19 inch rims | TSW Alloy Wheels
the Nurburing's, the Portier, The Sebrings, the Tremblants, The valencia's, The Amaroos, the Doningtons, and the Geniva's ALL look very similar.
