What do you guys think 19's or 20's

I have an 08 TL Type S and I'm ordering new wheels tomorrow but I keep going back and forth between 19's staggered or 20 x 8.5 all around it's gonna be a mesh style for sure and I'm dropped on Eibach springs. Let me know your thoughts?

Where you located at? if you don't mind me asking, Im trying to get rid of a set of wheels also. I currently have 20's on my car. To me the tires would be cheaper for 20's versus 19's.

They are very nice and got tons of complements with them but I miss my mesh style rims so I just sold my old ones last weekend . The vossen wheels are clean but too rich for my blood my budget is 2k.

I was thinking on that too but don't want to look like a 4x4 I think 20 look nice when done right. Thanks for the help.

I'd go 19s. They'll look great anyways dropped, and you won't have to deal with any potential rubbing issues.

Thanks you guys I ended up ordering 19's again, hopefully they fit (clear Brembos) and I think I will be happy cause of no rubbing issues.

just my thoughts..

20's always look great but 19's are def the move for that car ..with a 20 you would have a 30 height tire if i'm not mistaken the safest height to have if thats your main vehicle would be a 35 ..even cars that come factory with low wires usually dont go lower than a 35 height so #/35/# is always the best bet..just my

help with buying wheels for my 07 acura tl type s
Im in the market to buy some wheels for my 2007 acura tl type-s. I want to get black 19 inch rims with a chrome lip.

The problem is that I don't know anything when it comes to buying wheels lol. I've done some research but can you guys help with things i need to know? what size, type, forged vs. cast, etc..

I like these:

... but wanted to see if I can get some help about specifics I'll need to think of? I know they arent forged, but I'm not sure if that is going to be really important for a driver like me...

any input will be highly appreciated, thanks!!
