Opinions on these 19's
good choice. definitely an aggressive look on a black car. it is love it or hate it though....and i have found more haters out there...mostly the ladies. but it is most important that you got what YOU like.
as for the polished lip vs. chrome....i once slightly curbed one of my polished ws6 rims and was able to salvage it by sanding and buffing...somehthing that just isnt an option with a chrome lip.

HOTT! I like 'em. I've always liked the look of a black wheel with a polished lip, especially on a black car. I say go for it. Your current wheels are also hot, but I'd definitely go black! 
Didn't you guys read where he already sold his other rims? The car has been in storage for a year. I'm guessing on jackstands.
I don't think the black on black is a love it or hate it thing. In my opinion when the car is parked they look great. You can see the design and everything is real nice looking. My only problem is when your going down the road. When you drive by someone all they see is black rims and it can appear to be stockers or a spacesaver spare or something. I don't know, that may just be me.
My car is black and I was considering going with a black rim center, but in the end I went fully chromed.

Here are a few photoshops as no one is running 19's on the front or even the back without going with the 27" tall vette tire. I have a black TA t-top.
Once I figure out whether to get a 275, 285 or 295 front tire then I'll mount them on the car.

Yeah, I have to admit, your pictures look a lot better than the other ones I've seen of those rims. They are really sharp looking rims.
Since you haven't put the tires on yet, can you see the gap where the chrome lip is bonded to the rim? I'm curious about that whole thing.
When are we going to see them on the car?

Very nice. They look similiar to my 19x9.5 HP Racing HPR5's. I also like the 3" lip on all four corners. Not to mention tire rotations are a lot easier saving money on tires in the long run. 
I thought about running all the same size tire, but I decided to go 295/30/19 rear to make it a bit taller and wider than the fronts. What do you guys think of that?
(PS. I could care less about rotating.)

I will prob go with a 285 to try and avoid the BFH but if a 295 will fit with very little massaging I might go for it. Let me know how that goes.
