How much is too much?

How much is too much to pay for a set of rims+tire package?

I own a 2010 Evo X GSR and the stock rims are nice but I would prefer black rims.

Should I just get them powder coated and save a ton of money? Just bought my car 2 weeks ago so I'm new to this. Thanks guys

Personally, I'd rather buy a set of wheels and tires rather than use my stockers. Stockers are not wide enough and the stock tire is too small.

What size rims/tires would you recommend? Are 19's too big?

And what tire width is a good width?

PAINT, don't powder coat. The process of powder coating can weaken the metal in the wheel.

The common sizes are a 18x9.5 wheels (offsets vary) and a tire size of 255/35 or 265/35.
