in my opinion anything larger than a 17 is useless and doesnt make the car look better. just lessens the performace n makes it look bulky..but hey thats just my opinion

i thought about going to 18's however i am going to go with new 17's... they are lighter and still look good. the 19 will be to heavy and start to slow down the car and hurt the braking....

Yea man 17's make it look the cleanest..i have my stock 15's on right now and they look small and all, but going up 2 inches is wayy enough to change the look for the better. at first i was going to get 18's but then a buncha people at car autoshops told me that all it does it just lowers the perfomace and increases the weight of the car.

Or you could go by what people on this forum say since we all drive this same car everyday.

19x8" with 245/35/19 (summer wheels)
OEM 17" with 225/50/17 (winter wheels)

if you are going for looks yeah you can get a 19" rim, however if you want something that will improve acceleration and braking... go with a lightweight 17" rim and you can still keep ride comfort.

It's funny how only 1 inch of a difference (20's vs 19's) can make your car look nice, or rice
