Default 19 inch rims?

Was just lookin into some rims becuase ive been workin up enough money to throw down on some rims...

i have a delima tho b/c i want my wheels big with thin tires i just think that 20's are 1)look funny on our cars and 2) are more $$ whick i dont have

also i think that 18's look too small with too much tire on the outside...so ive i think i have decided to go with 19's

i have a few question:
1) are tires more expensive for 19's (over 20's) becasue it is a not as popular size like 18 and 20
2) how is the ride with 19
3) i have a silver coupe with the black stripe down the side and plannin on black rally stripes so was considering black and chrome wheels...all i could really find were these http://wheelstudio.com/catalog/produ...r3=&staggered=yes and they are pretty damn expensive... is there anyone with wheels like these

thanks in advance for all your input and advice..open to many different styles..just wanna get these stock ones off

20"s would be cheaper. I paid $115 each for 255/35/20 tires at the tirerack. I have the shelby razors.

19s look the best on our cars, i tried a friend's 19s once on my car. they didnt look too great, but the fit was perfect. if you are not getting bullits ore something, go 19

My friend's '05 GT used to have TSW Thruxton 20s and he later switched to Axis Hiro 19s. The 19s are much lighter but also it costs a lot more when it comes to tires. It all depends on taste. He loves the look of the 19s on his GT more than the 20s. He rather pay more for the tires. I got the benefits since I am taking the 20s!

20" wheels look really nice depending on the style of the wheel. If you find the right tire 18" doesn't look bad at all..
