It's all personal preference. I didn't think they looked bad as 18's on JD's car...aside from being 18's. I think in 19 they would be perfect. And wait until the LE30's come out (it's only a matter of time, just as it was that they would come out with 19's).

Oh, and here's some info for you guys...the RE30 is now offered in 19's...don't know what they weigh, but at 16.2 lbs for 18X8, 19X8 is still probably pretty damn light.

I currently have an 08 Type-S with stock wheels, I really like the Volk Wheels. I had some on a previous car and really was impressed with the quality. But I have some concerns about the tire press monitor.
Does any one have a pic of the sensor?
I had a some wheels before and had tabs welded in the center. that worked great, I wanted to see if these could be mounted the same. A pic would be great!
Thanks
Dan

19's are perfect. I had 20's and I thought they looked perfect but the ride was shit. Since I got my Volks in 19 and lowered the car 19's can't be beat. I should know. I have had the 17 stockies.......then 18 A-Spec Gunmetals.........then 20's.........now my 19 Volks. all in the course of 2 years.

it's funny...my friend has a Lexus IS350 and it also has the TPMS on it. he got tired of it, so when he got after market wheels, he took them all out, took a PVC pipe, sealed it on both ends, took all the sensors dropped them inside. used a valve stem and drilled a hole...pressurized the pipe to 40psi...and threw it in the trunk...lol...works like a charm

I just need to know if the the 2008 sensors are the same as your car, I don't know what year you have but I have to imagine they are the same?
Thanks again

I think 19" LE 30's with a black center and polished lip would look great.
