Congrats, and welcome, from another fellow new TL owner.

What wheels did you get? OEM 19", or aftermarket? Mind if you share what kind and how much, and where you got it? Thanks!

Loving those wheels! I'm going to hopefully be adding some in a few months and out of all the options...the 10 spokes are by far my favorite!

Try shrinking it down to under 1mb. A few hundred kb size is even better.
