The one drawback to the 19's is the unavailability of the better performing and longer lasting Michelin tires in the 19" size. Mine came with Yokohama, which has terrific performance, but the rears only lasted 12,000 miles before needing replacement. On top of which they're more expensive than the Michelin.

The good news is that wheels are easily replaced in accordance with whatever your mood dictates.
I agree, they are more pronounced in person and actually look good from all angles.
