I didn't read the entire link but the stock measurements are fine, they give me a good baseline to work from.

I posted a new thread with my question

You might want to do a search for some of the info that you ask. Also, if you are concerned with weight, you really shouldn't be considering a 19in wheel.

17in is a nice compromise in weight. However, it is harder to get different performace tires for the 17 in size. 18in have more available, however the wheels are heavier. 19's are just for looks.

If you want a light weight 18in wheel, do a search for the Volk CE28n's.....for an 18in wheel they almost weigh the same as the stock 16's.

I agree w/ 7Racer... 18" is the best size. Lots of tire brand/size options. Look great, still relatively light, and with the right aspect ratios don't ride like absolute ***.

17's just look too small anymore IMO. Front drivers come w/ 17" wheels from the factory now.

yeah iam starting to lean towards 18inch..ive seen the CE28n's but i dont rely like them,a lot of the guys here put them on Nissan GTR's and i think they suit them better and ive had my heart set on the sf winning..i gotta get them!i was just curious about the weight compared to other rims cause i read your post about them being a bit heavy.
