Lookin' for New Wheels

Need some help, I'm interested in purchasing some 19" wheels for my '04 TB 6MT (Brembo's) preferably 19x9 & 19x10.5... I purchased my G with custom 18" wheels when delivered, but very interested in 19" Suggestions, Thoughts?

*Note* car is lowered with Tein S-Tech springs

Thanks

I think you have to be more specific then just 19's. Price range? Chrome, polished, color matched? Looks or performance?

These are the 4 Wheels I'm looking at. Not sure as to comfort, more aesthetics than anything else.. Not in that order though.
Price range - Complete Combo, Wheels mount and balance 3K ~ 4K

1) Piaa - Super Rozza
2) HRE - 640
3) Amistad C - Deep Blue
4) Stern - ST7

The HRE 540's you have listed will run you over $5,000 w/o tires so you can take them right off your list- you may be interested in the similar looking iForged Seneka's though.

No joke! HRE wheels are one of the most expensive brands out there. They sure do look sweet though.

HRE's are out of your price range.
Amistad's are, well, ugly.
I don't know much about Sterns.
I choose the PIAA's.

Thanks I'll keep the Seneka's in mind, I don't really know how high I'm willing to go for new shoes. 5K might not be out of my realm... Have to get by the wife though

Another suggestion is to check out J-Line Wheels (formerly DTM wheels). You can get some awesome styles custom made with any offset, width, and different face/lip options.
