OEM wheels...........

Because the 19's have lower profile tires your car will
remain the same. Your ride will change somewhat,
and will be slightly more harsh. That's a lot of $ to
spend to look like everyone else....spend a little more
and go aftermarket! LOL

oem 19"s with basically new tires can be had for $1300 - $1500. Tires for 19s alone would cost around $1000. I don't know many good aftermarket 19" rims that cost under $100 each.

it will look about the same height. Gas mileage the same. Ride quality is slightly more rough, but I think you will like the 19s better than the 18s.

You'll save about 5 lbs per rim going to the forged 19's from the cast 18's.
