Look at my sig pic and you make your decision from there. I say 19s in Chrome will look awesome, if you aint a fan of chrome, then at least go 19s in Alloy.

17" or maximum 18" in silver or polished, not

19 inchers.
U dont need more than 17" for street driving a 3200 lb car, 18" would buy you marginally better handling at the expense of a stiffer ride and 19" take that tradeoff one further.

19's are a waste of $$$$ -and dont fit with the overall theme of the car as a sophisticated and understated/conservative sports sedan

I would say go with 18" but if you really want the 19" go for it! You can be just as bling bling with the right 18" wheels and drop as you can be with some 19-20" wheels if you chose the right combination.

This is one of those things that depends on the area of the US you are in. For example, due to the myriad of potholes around the Chicago area, I don't want to get 19s because of the risk of bending and the lack of protection.

19's without question man. No chrome. Chrome to bling bling for me. Get alloy, they are easier to clean...just enough bling but not to gaudy...and most importantly............less expensive.

Ive decided that my next mod will be to Bling my 19's. They way they are cracking down on racing locally... I will still be able to smoke most ****'s and look like a Stunna ! I know some of you hate 19's , just because you can't hang with the BIG DOG's !!

Aint no tradeoff to me in ride and comfort. I had 17s in chrome before. Two people on the org who rode in my car will testify to that.

Go with 19s, you wont regret it. But it also depends on where you live. I have 18s but getting 19s in a little.
