40 offset is fine, 245/35-19. No much on the black outer paint, but that's why that make so many different wheels, personal choice.

I think those rims would look much better with a polished/chrome lip.

I just don't really think the Konigs belong on a luxury car. Look at RonJons and similar type wheels.

im pretty set on 19 inch wheels, i think they look the best on the tl... and i dont wanna spend any more than probably 1400 on wheels and tires. and yes i am going to go lower, but not for a while after the rims. thanks for all your help guys i will keep an eye out. i definitely am not going with black, im liking the white though, no chrome, no red, blue, or other colors. so i guess my options are kind of limited!! haha but yes im going to start looking for some white wheels that catch my eye!

I think the 2nd option you picked is much better. In my opinion, the TL looks the best with the most simple of spoked wheels - probably 6-10 spokes max.

once you got that down, the finish is the biggest thing - I would suggest staying away from chrome, but all this is just my opinion of course
