Wheel help needed

Ok I have a 2009 TL black with the tec package
I am looking for new wheels. 19" TSW can't decide between the

Max Matte Black Finish

Doningtion Matte Black Finish
http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_donington.php

Mallory 5 Matte Black Finish
http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_mallory_5.php

If anyone has pictures with any of the above on a TL that would be a plus. thanks for any help that is given

Mallory and Max > Donington, although I've seen a TL on here with silver 20" doningtons that looked pretty nice

You should be fine with the 245/40/19 as that's the same size tire the stock 19" wheels come with.

What's the width of the wheel ? What's the offset of the wheel ?

It's really the combination of the width and the offset that determines how far the tires/wheels are gonna stick out, and rub the fenders or not.

The offset on the OEM 19x8" wheels is +55.

Max Matte Black Finish IMHO.

Probably the lightest as well.

I have had a set on my maxima. I never weighed them, so I don't know how heavy they were, but I did not have any problems with them. Got them pretty cheap 2nd hand.
