should i go for the OEM 19s?

i found a deal for some OEM 19s (split spoke 5 star) from a 2005 for $1000. do you think its worth it to pick up the set? i like my 18s, but some 19s would be nice. lol its alot cheaper than buying a brand new set of aftermarket rims.

I guess it depends on how much you want to mod out your car. If you want to keep it simple then yes but if you're going to lower the car and add some body and engine mods then you may want to think twice. Still it's your call.

$1000 for a set (meaning all 4) of the OEM 19s??? That's pretty good. If you went to a dealer and wanted just ONE, they'll quote you around $950. If that's the look you want, I'd say that's an awesome deal... assuming they're in good condition though.

I like the OEM 19s. However, 19s offer very little if any performance benefit. And my experience is that you will get less feeling through the steering wheel, and less of an ability to deal with mid corner bumps. However, from a looks perspective, the 19s are superior.

If I had my choice, I'd be rolling on BBS RGRs in an 18 inch diameter. Then again, I think the tail-pipe tips are too big as well.
