Opinions on these?

How do you guys think these 19's look? I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep them or not. It probably looks a little weird because they aren't mounted, but it gives you an idea. I will be lowering the car with sportlines in spring along with tinting the windows.

Re: Opinions on these?

I think they'll look alright. Is that a camera illusion or is that rear wheel bent? Personally, I think black wheels on non-black cars is not a good look. I'd consider those wheels if you painted them like a gunmetal color.

A 19 can be pulled off from the right stance. Prepare to lower!

agreed..I think you definitely need to slam the car if you put those wheels on... IMHO.

Re: Opinions on these?

I would never put 19s on the front of a third gen. 19 rear with 18s on the front would look much better, but even then, they are still a little bit big for my taste

Wheels over 18" on a 3rdgen always look weird to me, but some people are into the big wheels. Ultimately, it's your car and you can customize it to your taste.

So you think they're too big? Otherwise I hope people realize that they are sitting next to the car, not bolted on and sticking out 8 inches..

As long as they fit properly, I think they look fine.

Re: Opinions on these?

Personally I wouldnt go over 18" (lowered) however Im sure you will like the "look" on your car as long as like the "look" of the wheels now. Plus once you lower the car it will definitely look much better. Enjoy.
