I would shy away from 19's. The tire sidewall will be very tiny with a 19" wheel and your ride quality will suffer. I don't know what roads look like in Boston, but I imagine they aren't always too smooth.

If I were buying wheels today, I'd look at something like the 5zigen Pro Racer ZR:

or the Gullflame Gravity wheels:
http://www.phantasmusa.com/gullflamegun.html
Those are some aggressive offsets, but they can work on a FD. Neither are very common wheels on the FD so you won't look like "just another FD3S". But they are decent quality wheels.

my personal opinion:
silver rims to have a plain, non stand out, subtle look.
bronze to have a sporty, souped up look.
black, or black with red lip to have a aggressive look.
of course the design pattern of the rim will play a big factor on the looks, as well as your other exterior mods.

You may run into issues depending on how low you make your car with rubbing in the rear which is why I would suggest 255. Keep in mind it's the wheel which makes the wide look, not necessarily the tire itself. i.e. a smaller tire is still going to look 9.5", there will just be a little taper to the sidewall for the stretch (which will help avoid rubbing).

The 18 v 19 debate has been argued 100 times on year. I have had several sets of wheels in both sizes. You can only pull off 19" wheels on a fd if they are either step lip or 3pc/rivets as that makes the wheel appear to be smaller, it is hard to pull off a 19" full face wheel. My 19s ride just as fine as 18s, never had an issue. If you go to the track then I would suggest much smaller wheels.
