I have started looking for rims for the 2011, and I am not sure if I want to stick with 19's (I have the factory 19's on there now) or if I want to lower it down to 18's....

Any input? I have an idea of what rims I want, just can't figure out if I should bother going smaller.

Defiantly don't go smaller. 19's or 20's. 20's would probably be cheaper.

^ditto.

I thought 20s would be too much at first but I love mine.

That's the main reason I don't like the 19's, it's such an odd rim size and it seems tires cost more than the 18's and 20's....

Boss Laguna Seca's in 19 or 20, or the AMR stealth blacks in 19 or 20.

Unless they are some other options for sexy black rims that I am missing :)

I would be, but right now I am in the looking phase :p I already spent my budget on mods for the next couple months (or unless I get more DJ gigs soon lol)

If I am correct, I also need to get a new set of TPMS sensors for the rims, and the tool to sync them to the computer?

Yeah, stick with 19s at least. I'm still on the size fence myself...probably wont be doing rims for another year, or next time for a tire change.

It's almost time for a tire change, that's why I started looking. I got the car from the dealer with < 50% tread...I am shocked it has lasted me THIS long >:)

Where have you seen these wheels in a 20? I'm looking at them too but have only found 19's...

Boss LS wheels are only available in 19x9 and 19x10, unless someone steps up and does another size of reproductions.

You could get some 20" tsw wheels for a decent price. They are only around 24lbs each.

18s are for race cars. 20s would be good for looks. honestly find the wheel you want. then find the sizes.

I think 18s look great on these cars, but the car has to be lowered.

18's looked great on foxbody's, sn-95's, and new edge's... you could kinda pass them off on s197's, but 18's look stupid on 11-14's. mikeyfitz played it off ok with his f14's, but the car looks so much better with the 19's.
