Should I do it?
When I first got my car, I was all set to get rims, but then I changed my mind. I'm from Jersey & the roads here suck! I have my mind set on 19"s. Blitz Z1 technospeed 19"x8" with the exact offset (polished lip & paint the spokes the same color as my car, sundance gold pearl). Should I stay strong & keep the stock or get'em?

I say go for it, just watch out for those pot holes! And if there are specific streets that are really bad, stay away from them! (even with your stock wheels, bad for the suspension anyways). Put your stock setup back on in the winter.

Be careful with the stock offset on a 19 x 8 rims. You may rub the inner tires against the struts.

i think you are going to lose alot of ride quality with 19's and with the roads around here it is only a matter of time before they get screwed up (just my opinion), but if you have your mind set on it go for it. make sure you show pics if you get them

Just do it..they look HOT!! I have 18in SSR GPO DeColte's on the way and the more I think about it, the more I wished I got 19's. You should do it and just drive carefully.
