19's are too big for our car, unless you love a really bumpy ride with tires thing enough that if you hit a small pot holes your done, those other wheels are nice, just get them smaller and silver, no black or gunmetal or what not.
 
Have you considered Bronze? I've seen a few Black micas with bronze wheels and they look great.

You are soo misinformed....19's are not too big...and they will hold up just as well as any other wheel...going from an 18 to a 19 is not a big jump....and potholes are not wheel trashers for the most part...This is an overly exaggerated myth...they will trash a 15 incher as easy as a 19. I have had many sets of 18's and 19 and drove them daily...Never a problem one...How many sets have you rolled on?
 
BTW..ADR's are nice rims...Machined wheels are HOT!

I would love a fully machined wheel again...At night they give off such a glow when the light hits them...the look amazing.
 
its not the size that makes them weak, its because they are soo big you have to get rubber band tires so they fit, which having super thin tires like that makes the rim more vulnerable to pot hole breaking.

(boom07) PLEASE re-read above post....I have had many a set so I know what they require to roll....I have seen more 17's with giant bends in them that any 18's or 19's...They are made better as well to hold up to the rigors of running a lower porfile tire...and the tires themselve are quite a bit stiffer so as not to let the sidewall flex too much...

Anyway..back to the thread at hand....I say get them if you like them...I like your current set-up ,but sometimes you are ready for change...From the looks of your car, you have taste and take care of your ride...Your choice will be well thought out and picked wisely if you ask me.
 
Thanks, The wheels on my car now are 19" and I have been using them for a while now with no problem. They have a bronze color to them when the sun hits. I think I am just ready for something shiny. Bonesmp5 they do look good on your car!
 
I think those would look Hott in a 19 -- mine are only 17s,

and for those who are talking about the side walls --- A 215\35\18 has the same side wall as a 215\35\19
even if you go with a 205\35\19 -- you only lose a .2 --- so if it was a 3.0, its now a 2.8 -- for most -- thats just fine --

Just my .02 (cheers)
