dont get 19's
1. you cant get azena falken rt-615 (mmmmmmm... .falkens....), they only go up to 18's
2. you dont need 19's for a low torque, high hp car, just slows it down.
3. please get light weight before you get looks, dont forget that the only person that should care how it looks should be either you, or your girlfriend (wife).

by the way, my brother is trading in his 19's from his 350z (rays forged alum, 1500 a piece) for a 18 because the tires are cheaper and i think some more brands make 18's than 19's.

all your valid points are just some of the reasons why i havent commited to 19s yet.......but i sure do like the way they look

how come u missed out on the rear bumper? pending arrival?

by the way 18" s are perfect, bigger rims coupled with thin profile tires look rediculous, and it makes ur ride higher

stick with 18" and add 1/4 or 1/2 inch wheel spacers will be awesome.

Looks like you've been busy mahuna. I remember when your car was stock at the malibu cruz.
