Wow, I wanted to get 18's so I wouldn't sacrifice performance on the track. The 19's looks perfect...the 18's aren't going to look good. I was thinking aboout getting the Volk CE28N's. Your's are the SF challenge rims right?
Btw, does anyone know of any other cool 10 spoke rims similar to the Ce28n's?

Those Volks look hot! Do you know what they weigh in at by chance? They look heavy, but it might just be because of the flanges behind the spoke. Also, can the rim be separated from the spokes by removing the 4 bolts at each spoke?
I have the 19" CE28N's. Here's what I would recommend: 18" front and 19" rear. It's a good compromise between performance and looks. The sidewall looks way to thin when you go with 19" up front. I wish I went that route, but I would probably have to wait a few months for the 18's to come. Vendors seem to stock monstly 19's, and only in matched sets.
I was considering buying a set of 18" bronze CE28n's, then splitting them with a friend. He'd have my 19x9.5 +22 fronts, which he would use for the the rear. Then we would split the 18" set (18x8.5 +22 and 18x9.5 +22). Unfortunately, he doesn't like bronze, so I'll probably just wait for the day that my rim gets bent in a pothole.

call me nuts but i personally like the look of the 275's on a 10.5" rim...its all a matter of opinion anyways. the tire slightly arching inward from the wheel width gives the rear wheels an even wider look(wheels not tires). plus the capability of running a 20mm offset on a 10.5" wheel is nice, very agressive stance w/o the need to roll or cut the fenderlip!

I have heard alot of people stagger wheels widths, but not wheels diameters.
I plan on tracking my car and I don't think it would perform up to par...but then again I don't know much on that issue :P I guess it would be non-staggered if the overall diameter of the wheel+tire was the same for the front and the back.

the main reason(not for everyone, but originally designed) for staggered rim diameters is to induce oversteer. somthing nissan did with the SMZ 300zxtt......others do it for numerous other reasons, depends on how you drive your car & what your plans are for it.........
