I have 19" evo 5s and I love them. The only problem is that tirerack doesn't sell them anymore. You might be able to find them used on the Wheel Tire classified or maybe on eBay. I've been meaning to take some pics, I guess I could do that tommorow is the weather keeps up. I think 19s look awesome with our body size but yeah they will definately hurt you performance wise.

I didn't notice much of a difference when I switched to the bigger rims. I get 20-23 mpg now. I've never hit 25 mpg since I started calculating (which was b4 I put the rims on) so I don't think the added weight will make a HUGE difference. Definately not big enough for me to get different wheels. Did you see a big drop in mpg after you switched to larger wheels?

What would look the best on an I30 is some 17"-18" BBS mesh rims with a nice lip. If you can't lay down the cash for BBS they are plenty of knock off BBS type mesh rims
