depending on your financial situation, I would recommend investing (although the economy is ****ty right now, it could only help ) or putting it towards paying off house, cars, etc.

+1 on that and keep in mind, CARS ARE NOT investments. Especially this type of cars. They depreciate hella fast. Put $$$ into good tires instead, if you have the need.

I can't bring myself to do it either, 2 years later.

It would help me decide if the OEM 19s didn't look and perform so damn well to begin with.

Depends what you already got, the stock 19s are some nice looking wheels so that would be a debate if its worth the money. Otherwise I would say its worth it, wheels can really set the car off and give it a different look

New wheels are very much worth it if you choose the right wheels. They
should be at least 19" and enhance the way your car looks. Check all the
gallery's, visit shows and meets before you even consider buying a set. It
doesn't hurt to visit our own MARKETPLACE, our members are always demoding
their cars when they're being traded in.
