19's are nice, whereas they usually cost more then even 20's sometimes. Go with the eighteens. I decided too. I'm getting staggered 18" AXIS REVERBS 18x8.5 front and 18.9.5 rear, gloss black. It will go good with the winning blue color of my car. but as for the decision on you gettin 18's or 19's it is your choice. It's your car. Traction all depends on the tires you get, not the rims. Handling will be wider, and have to take it a LITTLE easier on the turns, no need for durastic stops to turn. 19's weigh more. Depends on what type or car you want, fast or faaaasssttt. but 18" or 19" isn't goin to make or break your car.

Go for the 19s, wheel might be a little heavier but the tires are a little lighter... Car will handle very well and turn-in razor sharp...

I have on order a set of Axis Hiros, in 18's though. My question though is still : Can the stock tires fit 8.5's? Cortz mentioned only 7,7.5 and 8.0 rims. My tires have at least another years life - i dont want to have to buy new rubber cause of .5!
