I love my RL, don't get me wrong, but 19's on an RL with a little strip of rubber stretched over the wheel is "fuggin ugly". It's like a 280ZX with 18" spinners, or a Chevy Cavalier with chrome Torq-Thrust and T/A's. It just isn't right. 17's and 18's are just right for the RL. Save the 20s for the guys that like driving down the road with three 20" spinners on their car and the "spare" as the fourth, because they hit a small pot-hole and trashed a rim, and can't afford a new one...now who looks "fuggin ugly".  Don't mind the sarcasm, but if you're gonna dump on someone, expect some dumpin' back.
BTW, sweet rims and clean ride. If you had to go with 19's I'd say you made a good choice.

I seconds that.
i didnt want chrome, i didnt want huge, to be honest i was just hoping the that 2005-current RL wheels would fit it, and i looked forever to find 99+ stock RL wheels (not that i like to keep things stock far from it) i just wanted something that looked clean and kept the luxury feel...
and I feel because its MY car that the 17" Type S wheels look good...
i did put some 18" sterns (black with a chrome lip) on the car and it just didnt feel right to me...
