Do you think it is worth it to do 19's over 18's?

Not really, but then again you do have ground effects 19's would probably look better.

i agree, since your kit is low already, and you cant really drop the car any more than you have, i think a set of 19'z would be your best bet.

i really like your ride, that grill is probably the best aftermarket grill install i have seen to date....looks flush!!! nice!!!

Yeah the 19's would like killer. The darker one's. But i would try to find a different style seems like everyone is getting them now. But never the less they would look killer.

I would go with the Black Z06 rims w/o the silver lining around the lip. You can get um on ebay. Black rims would really bring out the gold.

Better yet, get the 19" EVOs and have the centers painted gold to match the car. That would be killer looking!

That's I good idea Tony. But I'm afraid some people would throw up the flag on those. It would be wild and bold at the same time

I would be afraid that it wouldn't hold up over time too. What is a good price to pay for the 19x9.5's? I can get them for 1095 shipped.

Do you think these would look better than the evos in the proper size/offset:

I think black Privat's would look good 18x9.5 all around. IMHO
