My Black TLX with 19" Rims at stock height

I know it's pretty much stock but I just wanted to share some pics of my TLX. I have winters on my stock 18's and i needed new all seasons so I pondered the idea of getting a new set of wheels for the summer.

My goal for the car was to keep it as stock as possible so that means no lowering. This factored into my decision on what size rims I would get. I always thought the 18's were a tad too small on the TLX so I wanted to get at least 19's which were an option on some models. 20's would look too big and weird IMO without a slight drop. So 19's were the choice. And then when it came to deciding on the rim, I also wanted to choose something that would look somewhat OEM and not as "tuner" looking. I looked over a lot of rim choices and a lot of the ones I liked, l thought wouldn't look as good on stock height so finally I came across these and thought it complemented the stock TLX look quite well.

19x8.5 Advanti Diviso +45 all around. 245/40R19 Pirelli's

When I changed my rims, I didn't tell anyone around me and just showed up in my car and a lot of my friends didn't even notice my rims at first glance which is exactly the look I was going for since it didn't look too flashy and could pass as stock.
Let me know what you think, I know it's not something for everyone but for the look I was going for, I'm pretty happy with the result.

Sorry for the large pics!

Looks great! I liked your photos so I just ordered the same rims for my TLX SH-AWD. Mine is grey with aero kit. I currently have 20s and lowered but next week will be raising it up to stock height and putting these rims on but with Michelin Pilot Super Sports
