A few questions for people with 19's

Ok, I need some information regarding 19's. I have a chance to purchace a set of 19" Konigs for cheap ($350). Here are my questions. Do you have any problems at all (rubbing, acceleration, or anything else)? I know this is a dumb question, but how is the ride? I was originally going with 18's and 215/40's but this is a good deal I think. Also, if you are running 19's can you post a picture of your car and also what type of lowering kit you have used. Thanks again in advance.

Chris

No rubbing, and I have it slammed. Our cars aren't that fast anyways, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Look in member's rides for my pics. I'd post them, but for some reason after the site changed, I can't post pics anymore.

i got 18s and if I was to do it all over again I would get 19's without a doubt. 18s look good, but they dont make me think "woah those are huge!". 19s wouldve been perfect i think. Even though I have a DX the power loss is not significant with the 18s and I still drive it pretty hard.
