The wheels with the polished lips are tight.

18s with the polished lip look MUCH MUCH better
why not lower the car another 1/4" and add a tad more negative camber to make the rims appear larger

I think aesthetically, they are very close, which means of course that I'd go with the lighter/better handling 18's. Really can't go wrong with either of those, though!

Can't wait to see pictures of your setup.

I like the way the 19's looked, but i love the way 18's ride. I must admit the polished lip gives the car a totally new look.

Just got these put on a few days ago, getting alignment soon. I don't think it'll be wise to lower any more. My apartment complex has a horrible driveway.

I went to HRE 590r 18's and a reversed polished lip from 19's. Your 18's are my vote.

i agree, the black/silver combo looks better imo...

if you could do the black/polish in 19s would be best.

I like the 18s with the polished lip better. It gives it a little more contrast.
