Stupid question. What is your car's original color?

Pearl white metallic. I liked the color of the paint. It just never had enough pearl for my taste.
This has probably already been hit on somewhere in this thread but I couldn't find it. I'm trying to replace my stock 17s on my 2016 touring with 19s. Going with 19 x 8.5. I know the GT comes with 19x7 and 225/55.
What size tire should I go with for the right fit on the 8.5 inch wide rim? Thinking about 235/50/19. Want the tire to be wide enough to protect the rim somewhat. Any guidance would be appreciated.

235/50R19 would be smaller than your stock tire, and not provide as much protection for your wheels. Unless you're playing with suspension modifications (or even if you are playing with suspension modifications) the best choice is a 255/50R19.
@Font Motorsports, what is actually the weight of a TSW Sochi 20 x 8.5 ET 40 ? Because they`re RF Rotary Forged...............
At the original website of TSW they have forgotten to mentioned the weight in their program.....Thanks ! (whistle)

Unfortunately some wheel manufactures "forget" to list their wheel weights. 
I've contacted my TSW distributor to find out the weight. Let you know when i do.

That is my tire+wheel set up. The wheel is 19x8", offset I believe is 35; it may be 40, Rodrigo from Font has to chime in on that. Tires are stock size, 225 55 19 Nitto NT412Q's.
So far I love them. The weight difference with this tire+wheel combo is very noticeable when accelerating from a stop and when braking. It feels very light on its feet.
If you go to the TSW website and look up this wheel, you can get it in many different sizes AND widths, such as 19x8.5, 19x9, 19x9.5...

Here are my XXR 553 Chromium 20"x9.25xET36. Car sits on Corksport springs(3-1/4" drop). Tires are 225/45R20.
There is a slight stretch on the tires, just enough to don't stick out from the car.
Wheels were purchased locally, from nlmotoring in Chatsworth. Nice guys.

That actually looks damn good. More pics?
Thanks. They make them in black and silver as well. Last time I have checked, the silver it was on sale for $131!! They sell them on Ebay as well. When I purchased it, there it was cheaper then on there online store.
