If they'd fit, the second set.

I'm pretty sure SSR fits and they look better anyway.

Carlsson's don't fit on our car. Wrong bolt pattern. Only for German cars.

i think only the work wheels will fit so them, and i think tire size should be 235/35/19. i asked tirerack and they said the 19s don't fit (wrong offset and/or width) and the carlsson bolt pattern must be modified (and offset will not be high enough). if you like the 1/5s then try maya or trafficstar. if you are gonna spend a lot of money, might as well get something that fits from the start!

I like the SSR GT3's quite a bit since its 5 spoke which gives it a more sporty look. The work wheels appeal to me too cuz they've got that mesh 3 piece look.
Quite hard for me to choose rite now but maybe price will weight much on my decision

I'm bias... I have a set of 19" work wheels (click below for Work's website)... "Rezax II" Sorry, I don't have any pictures on line, but I'll try and post some soon. I think someone here has a picture of my wheels though (from the meets). FYI, I have a 02' TL-S Silver.

i find that its quite hard to get aftermarket rims in vancouver in a good deal. most are either overpriced or u can't find the ones u like that fit ur car. so pretty limiting in the choices if you are concerned with price.

...yeah, I have to admit... Work wheels are NOT cheap! I was lucky and got my set used (from a guy that showed cars). If you did the math (from the site), convert the Yen to US $$$, the Rezax IIs are the most expensive wheels!!! I didn't even know that until after I bought them. I think it comes out to be about $800 a piece!!! And that's w/o tires! For that money, you can go with HRE wheels!!!

!!!

...actually, I was curious what the yen's rate was, so looked it up and did a little math... at 107,500 yen is about $896.00 US!!! Or 1300.00 CAD (Canadian)

Wow! I'm starting to like my wheels even more!!!

BTW, I have pics coming!

Honestly... I have 19" wheels only because the opportunity was there for a great deal, and a set of "killer" wheels... but if I had to do it all over again... I'd go 18"s....

I, often, read people's post in here, asking about the possiblity of 20"s... I just want to say to them... "...do you have 19"s or riden in a TL with 19"s wheels?"


20" wheels on a TL? -unrealistic and NOT practical... -trust me on this one

The GT3's look nice, but only with a big lip and you can't get them with our cars, so I'd probably pick the Works.

the bigger the diameter of your wheel the slower it goes...

Go with the Work VS-XX.

They have a fitment. 19x8 +51. My Work Euroline LS rims have the same set-up and after Teamturismo got them in Hawaii I wanted to change to the VS-XX but it was too late. For the rims check with Value TL he can ge the Works. Also what the face of the rim. My friend has 18" for his GS400 and the face seemed more convex then the straight up and down face like (BBS LMs).

just my 2 cents
