There is a huge gap between 18 and 19 in tires. Better check that first. I would not do 19s. Check the sticky in this forum about wheels. Its mentioned in there.

If you can throw on clean 19s, with no rubbing issues post it...I will believe it when I see it.

Just FYI...

I never weighed the wheels but when I received them from UPS yesterday, here was the weight on the box...

19 x 8.5 - 32LBS
19 x 9.5 - 35LBS

Hope this helps everyone... BTW.. its a beautiful wheel..

That wheel is ghastly. What does it want to be when it grows up?

you will lose tons of traction with bigger rims and smaller tires so id say stick with 17 or 18 for looks, but 19 is just too big for me
