I think he's talking about an 18 being an alternative to the 19 for a sport or touring.So who's dumping stock 19's on a GT to get some aftermarket 18's?

Upgraded my ride to 19" gt rims. Still have the 17" touring rims with 2200 miles on them if anyone is interested.

Check with OP, he might want them. Also they are popular for those in snow country wanting to have extra set of winter tire/wheels.
I assume your 19's have the standard Toyo tires on them. What's your impressive of ride/handling/comfort/noise (NVH) after the change?
Ok I will.
I got them from the dealership with original toyo tires. noticed that braking feels a worse and acceleration is a bit slower too but that was to be expected due to extra rotational weight. The ride is a bit more harsh going over bumps.
They look amazing though.
They are filled with nitrogen to the specs listed in the manual. That is something I have been always anal about is tire pressure.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned going to 18"s as an alternative.
Playing Devil's advocate here... One could go to a 225/60/18 as a happy compromise between the 17" and the 19". In that size there are plenty of tire and wheel options that would work for the CX-5.
I have the 19s and prefer the look. The 17" has too much sidewall for me but 18" in a 225/60/18 would be my peference than going to a 17".
