Go to www.tirerack.com. They are the bomb. I upgraded to 19" premium wheels, they set me up perfectly. Tires & wheels arrived home and their local shop mounted them, including the tire presure system. The interactive tool will give you all the answers you need. Good luck.

I'd look at Axis wheels, they have some reasonably priced choices with good offsets. A 19 x 10 might be slightly more than 26 lbs, but most two piece wheels with a big lip are.

been there - all I like from them are the bbs or oz, but I just can't justify spending 900-1000/wheel

thanks for all your help guys. I am leaning toward the enkei rpf-1 19x8.5 et 22 and 19x10 et 22. They meet all of my requirements except for the lip, it's pretty small. Oh well I guess I will have more of a racing look than bling. They are are only 18-20 lbs and under 2k for the set of wheels. Now to decide on 285/35/19 or 275/35/19 tires.

+1, 275/35/19 will look the best on the rear.
either 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 front, your choice completely

I was def going to go with 285s if I went with 10.5 in the rear, but it looks like I will be at 10, so the 275's should be ok. I don't like the streached look where the wheel sticks out further than the tire. I am going to go with an 8.5 up front, so 245 will be perfect. Thanks for the advice!

Enkei RPF1's are an excellent choice. I have them in 18 and I love them.
