Having some regrets about going to 19" instead of staying with the 18" oem. Black rims give the car a more aggressive look. The 19's are nice and will do for now, but probably going back to 18" when more options for 18" become available with a 1" drop. The handling did suffer a little with the 19's.

I agree... the stocks do look bigger than 18" and if dropped a little would look even better.

19" look nice but given they are reps and 18"'s are OEM, I'd go for oem 18" over 19" reps any day.
