Going by that link, you could only get 19s. I'd have to see them on the car before making an opinion, but if you really like the wheels, try them out!

I think 19's are too big if you don't have some decent lip. But that's just my opinion.

19s are i think a bit to big. i wouldnt go any bigger then 18s.

18s w/ a nice spring/strut combination should look very nice.

for the 3's i think 17's are just perfect, 18's would be nice too... why dont you try something else i mean 19s... eh just not my style, if you get them post pics wonder how they'd look

our speeds come with 18's atenza... 19's look nice with a very low pro tire, but why add the weight? by the looks you already have about 100lbs of huge speaker box filling the hatch. are you trying to be fast or just look fast?

if you put aftermarkets on and don't have the valve stems
how do you get rid of the tire light?

You'll just have to deal with the TPMS lights. There are ways I've heard people throwing their sensors in the spare tire well, but not sure how well that turned out... Unless of course you can get them installed on your new set, you'll be good to go.

Nope the spare tire thing don't work with our tpms system because they need to be rotating to work. It works on some other brands but not ours.

lol, well there you have it... if you can have the TPMS sensors installed on your aftermarket wheels, then you'll be set.....if not, then the light will stay on.
