+1000 With no lip 19's look just fine, even some 19's WITH a lip look great (see redEYEjedi's BBS LM's - those wheels are SICK!!!!). It will come down to the style of wheel chosen an what you think looks best - it is, after all, your car.

You should take a ride with me, those that have say that they notice very little harshness rolling on my 20s Plus I love the beastly 10.5 inch rears!!

Here's a pic of my 19's with a lip .. It does look smaller because of it, check out my sig with my Miro M6 reps and they look a lot bigger.

I'm starting to like it a lot more now too ... No one really has these rims and I had a guy actually stopped me @ a light and ask what kind of rims they were and where I got them. I had to pick up a customers CL63 yesterday and had one of the guys drive my car back and that also did it for me.

I had the same dilemma myself but IMO I think 19s are perfect if you lower the car
