Which rims should I get?

I have narrowed my rim choices down to two and not sure which I want.

I based my decision on the look and budget (budget mostly as I am getting married)

The first choice was TSW Vairano 19x8 f 19x9.5 r (not sure what tire size or offset to get)


The second choice was Petrol Throttle 19x8 f 19x9.5 r (not sure what offset to get)


I do know that the Petrol come with Vredestein UltraC Sessanta tires that are 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. From a review I have seen on here, they are pretty descent tires.

I am leaning toward the petrol but thought maybe others would chime in.

Thanks for your input in advance


NOTE: MY G is red

Also the sales guy said that he would recommend 275/35/19s on the rear instead of the 30s along with a 20mm offset. Does this sound correct. I do want it flush but not too aggressive to where it would screw anything up. Note this is on the second wheel.

i would go with 275/35/19 in the rears and 20mm offset sounds decent for a 9.5"wide rim... i would try to go with a lower offset if possible if you dont mind rolling fenders(assuming you're dropped) Dont know much about the brand Petrol but i've seen many cracked TSWs here on the forum.

+20 offset on a 9.5 in the rear wont get u to be flush, now if ur g isnt that low.. sure its flush.. but imo its not really flush unless you are pretty low first of all
