The best wheels/rims

I was wondering should i go with 19s or 18s, i know people have done 19s how bad is the rubbing or is there no rubbing?
Here are the rims im considering getting please look and choose the best one for a thunder grey lancer. What do u guys think about the sweet f-15s number 13 in my pictures on the lancer they are 19s and are featured on the accolade site so they must be quality rims right?

i like 7 and 8.. but about getting 19's or 18's.. i say just stick to 18's. people already experience rubbing with 18's and if you decide to go with 19's, your profile size will be so low that one of your rims would be gone in a matter of hours .. i say, if you can, try and get 18x7 rims [do they even make those?].. but yea, 19's would also throw off your speedometer like crazy.. just some little factors you gotta throw in..

Wow please don't get any of 9-13, except maybe 11. #1 is my choice. And yeah stick with 18's if you must go that big.

Yeah, go with 18s, and try finding a 7 inch wheel base if u can. You'll get rubbing, even if you go as thin as 35. If you've got pot holes and the roads where you live aren't in great condition, i would advise you dont even go for the 18s and do 17s, otherwise you'll damage some pretty expensive rims.

i went #7, but #1 in gunmetal would ..i love gunmetal, but uh...i dont like that style on #7, get some split 6spoke rims or thin split 5 spoke works to...thats my personal style though, urs may differ...maybe u really want some 20" spinners...where both rims spin, one goes clockwise, the other counter-clockwise..i've seen em..its really crazy.

i gues i want gunmetal, i got a thunder gray lancer to...and i PLAN on a CF Hood, CF TYC Elegante Tails, 2.5% tint, clear side marker....and gunmetal rims...i really dark car, with blue or green underbody neons, not sure yet, i don't see many green ones around here, mainly red and white...but its all on civics so who cares.
