you really think the 19's are worth the extra 100 bucks a tire huh?

Mine is with the Eibach pro's and hal shocks seems to hold up nicely and looks clean.

I love the 19's but at times scare me with rough roads and its like a string bikini in Miami.. HOT AS HELL but NO PROTECTION from the rash.....

Desert you can get the same stance from the pro's with hals and removing the spacer in the rear but the additional spring strength you wont rubber band all over the place (I had the sportlines and loved the stance but just was not my fav for handling)

I have not noticed the loss of power If I hammer to hard the converter just flashes the tires right off the ground.. I figure if i am that concerned with racing will pull out the race car.

As for the cost, you are not into them that much that should sway to much. I know im in them a good bit less than 2k running Nittos.
But with the UP cost in tires and rims I spent the 400 more and went that route.

Well that's your opinion, and to each, his own, bro. FWIW, I don't like evo style mesh wheels because they look too busy. I prefer the larger voids with less spokes. Just my .02... after all, it is my car. In any case, I posted the picture in response to the OP's request.

Do they still produce the HP Lightning "EVO" wheel? I contacted HP directly and the response was yes, they do make them. After I e-mailed them the second time asking for pricing and shipping on them, I got nothing in return. **** *** customer service.
