Finally Made a Decision On Wheels.. What Do You Guys Think?

So after about 3 months of looking at different wheels, I've finally decided to go with BBS LM Reps. I have an 04 Abyss Blue Pearl TL, and I found a pretty popular wheel store on Ebay where I can order just the rims for $980. I have a friend that owns a tire shop so he's gunna hook me up with some nice tires. I found a former Azine member with the same exact wheels (ordered from the same Ebay store) on his grey TL.

Here's the link to his old thread with the wheels on the car
https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/19-bbs-lm-replicas-w-tires-837939/

I think its gunna look awesome on my ABP, I will be running them on a stock suspension and thats why I'm going with 19s, my only concern is the rear end sitting up so high, why is that like that? Will mine sit the same way? Eventually when I come across a local A-Spec suspension I'll probably pick it up, but I'm not really in a rush.

What do you guys think?!

I think without a drop it will look like a truck! And Aspec suspension won't be enough...

Nice pick, man...you're going to love it. Stick around, we'll convince you to tackle suspension, soon thereafter.
You can get full coilovers for under $600 shipped NEW right now. That's crazy talk.

Rule #1 of Car Modification: Never put aftermarket wheels on a car that is stock height.There's literally only a handful of people on this forum that understand that. The rest just think HURR DURR LUUK @ MAI DOPE ASS FAKE RIMS HURR DURR. Fuck.

Sorry, but I think you sound like an idiot.. I live in New England, where theres potholes the size of craters, snow storms and every other road is a huge hill. I know A LOT of people, not just with Acura's, that put rims on their car and don't have it lowered. Maybe thats your opinion, and thats fine, but its definitely not accurate and I'm sure a lot of people would agree with that. Not only that, but I did mention that in the future I'd be interested in an A-Spec suspension, which would lower it .5 inches, which is more than enough for the area I live in. Thank you for your well written and mature response though.
