Thinking of buying wheels for my TL. What do you think?
I had a friend Photo-chop a pic of my TL with the wheels I am wanting. I thought I would post them up on here and see what you all think. I am looking to get 19" rims and maybe do a drop with Tein H-Tech's.

J/K, I coudl nto bring myself to do that. I really liking the Matte finish of the wheels, and I think they will look good on the car. I wanan try to set mine apart from the others in my area, without making it look ricey and tacky.

Definetly NOT tacky. Looking Good. Are those Matte Gray or Bronze?
Drop looks a little extreme in the chop. A little less would look better and be more functional (IMHO) (
).

).I agree 100% on the drop. I am looking towarrds the Matte Bronze finish. My g/f is pushing for the gunmetal, cause she does not care for the bronze, BUT I am still leaning towards the bronze.

I like them... But yeah If you went with that drop, uhhhh some severe rubbing up front. Just ask Jay (distorted reality) 
(he probably gonna hate me for that!) Oh and if you drop that much, can you say 235s dont even go 245s, again ask Jay why!

^^^^But a drop with Tein H-techs should not cause any camber, alighnment, bump stop, tire size, tire wear issues should it??? The H-techs are a lil less than 1" drop are they not?

With H-Techs you will be fine on the rubbing issue. You running 8.5" wide wheels? I got comptech springs with Tokico HP Shocks and had no issues, I was running 19" +35 offset 8.5 wide wheel with 245/35/19 and never had issues.
PS. I plan on selling my suspension if you interested PM me, have less than 3,000 miles on them
