Axis Hiro's on Titanium! :-)
Well, finally decided the weather is getting better. So, I put on my Hiro's. They are 19x9.5 and 19x8.5. What do you guys think?

How do they compare as far as traction with the turbo kit?

The Hiro's with tires mounted weight less than my winter wheel setup which was 18" wheels. I can sort of notice that in acceleration. I'm saving almost 5lbs per wheel with the hiro's compared to the Mille Miglia EV-R's that I had on there before.
As far as traction with the turbo kit... There is so much more torque that you can go sideways in 4th gear with the tires cold.. but you learn how to massage the throttle to keep the tires locked to the asphalt.

Jon--What do you mean the weather has gotten better? There's still snow in those pictures! Crazy fanatics we are 
I like those rims--I think they look best on black, not so good on silver, as I've seen them posted here, and very nice on the ti gray, as you have.
BTW, is that your garage in the background of the first pic? Looks like a tight squeeze!
