Man I really want to get some aftermarket rims but looking at these pic's is really changing my mind about rims. I am really considering getting a good set of oem 19's overall aftermarket. They look sick and will keep my wallet full (somewhat) lol. AHH!!! don't know what to dooooo

Coupe 19s are a great alternative to the expensive as hell Volk crowd (used is $2,000 min w/ tires). They are light, great looking and very fairly prices for forged Rays wheels. Another great choice would be the Z track edition 18s. They are only 18-19lbs each. Also forged by Rays wheels.

I agree. I want to stick to the 19's though. The z track edition wheels look great though. I am considering the 19's or some adr m sports (I know cheaper, but what I can afford), or g-games 99b (which are also made by rays). Undecided which way I want to go!

i just changed from some racinghart j8 in 19x9" maybe right at 50lbs with 245/35/19 fronts and 19x10.5 54lbs for rears with 295/30/19 on them... i then went to stock 19" with 245/35/19 all way around and now i have stock 18" with 225/45 front and 245/45 rear, they 18's seem lighter and i never weighed them but at the dragstrip ive maybe gotten slower... i go alot, like every other weekend... i used to get 8.8-9.0 @79-81mph with my racingharts and stock 19" and now with the stock 18" i can only get 9.0-9.2@77-79 mph... its only 1/8th mile track....i do have brand new rear tires so maybe to much tread is the difference...ill upodate in a few weeks when they get bald

I have had both and you need to remember the oem 19's are w-i-d-e-r too! They are about the same weight with tires on so I would go for it!

not at all! ***** up my car as often as you can!

[QUOTE=Texan1]I would only do that to a scuffed up set with stains and scrapes all over the mother fukcer. NOT a relatively pristine set

nice work though.[/QUOTE]
thank you - i had gloss-blacked my stock '06 17"s and when i moved up to the 19"s, i decided to do the same, except add a little flavor to them. i'm glad you like 'em
