New wheel choice

Hello,

I'm looking for new wheels and would like some opinions. The two I'm looking at are the Vertini Monaco, but I just called and they only sell them in 20". I basically need to decide if that's too big or if I wait for them to come out with 19".

My second choice is the Forgestar CF5 19".

Both of the rims in Matte black, I also want to lower my car so any suggestions on suspension would be good probably going for a 2-2.5" drop for it. I'm also getting new drilled and slotted rotors.

http://www.forgestar.com/v2/wheelscf5.php

Any other suggestions are welcome.

I love the forgestars...19's are the biggest a 3G should see. Any bigger than that and go ahead and get yourself some headrest monitors and some gucci print headliner to go with it.

They look like the old speedline wheels for porsches. Beautiful.

I would rather the Monaco but apparently they're not in production for 19" yet.

Of the two, I'd go with the Forgestars. What is up with this trend with wheels having raised words on them? It's kind of cheesy that they need to advertise their wheels as being "concave". They'd be ok without that. If a wheel is concave, people who actually care will take notice.

I like your second choice for sure

19" wheels are THE BEST on a TL IMHO

I think I'm gonna go with the Vertini Monaco in 19" since Work Varianza's are not easy to find and the guy for Forgestar never got back to me.

The Vertini monoco, style wheels looks great.
Wait to see if they start to manufacture thd 19s in your size- of look at other wheels that look similar to that monoco style-

The 2nd choice looks similar to the stock TL 5 spoke wheels.

Try looking at another website to order the Forgestars? They custom make the rims to your specs so heads up it will be a month or more wait.

Ah well I agree 20" would be too big, I called a place and said they start selling in June so I would wait until then.
