    They'll fit, but the price isn't that amazing. Either buy 19's now or buy them later... you'll want them

    What wheels do you have on now? Pics??

    $700 seems a little steep for wheels without tires.. I'm not sure how that compares to how these are priced from the manufacturer

    Re: Need Opinion..

    current 19" Axis Matrix @ 245 35 19... the thing is i want my car to handle nicely... and save a little weight on it... and for the price it does sound a little steep, any place you guys know i could get them for cheaper... let me know or any recommendation of some other rims around the same price would also help..

    19x8.5 Front
    19x9.5 Rear,

    Why do you even bother asking... The OP said he wanted to lose weight and better handling, yet everyone keeps suggesting 19's, even staggered ones... LOL hopeless...

    Pass on the Privat Netz. 18s with a lip look too small. the texture of those rims is rough, hard to clean, and looks cheap. plus the finish wears pretty bad. If you want track wheels stick with lighter 18s without a lip, if you want street wheels go 19s and spend a little more on something nicer.

    Thats because more than half the people have zero idea what they're talking about when it comes to what REALLY works...LOL.
    Not all, but some.

    Here's a suggestion to the OP...talk to a real tuner if you want a real solution.

    Re: Need Opinion..

    if you want track wheels go no larger than 17 IMO... (assuming your brakes clear)

    i can't see you driving your car hard enough to require brakes which, in turn, require an 18 inch wheel though....

    i recommend that you get in contact with benny (i think his name on here is 3ohavant) and get yourself a set of rotas.... look good, good price, light, fairly sturdy, come in good sizes and widths, most clear decent brakes (b5s4 minimum)

    Re: Need Opinion..

    well if he's running stock brakes then rotas will be fine... that's why i was asking

    he said he already ordered rotors, so i assumed he meant bigger ones to go with bigger calipers
