Default Shopping for Rims, what do you guys think about these?

They are by DCR, model is called Laguna Seca.

I was thinking of going 19x8 in the fronts and 19x9 in the back with 235/35/19 and 275/35/19 in the rear. Do you guys think this will fit?

Most people are going 19 x 8.5 front on a 235/35/19 and 19 x 9.5 rear with a 275/30/19. Check the sticky at the top of the forums with all the aftermarket wheel and tire setups. Alot of good info there for you to find the right fit for your car. I like the wheels BTW

I would like to go wider rims in the back as long as it doesn't rub.

Looks sleek. Not too bling. Very subtle.

I like the set up. 19x8 front is perfect on 235 width wheels. If i could, I would have my wheel 20x8 instead of 20x8.5 with 235 tires size. My rims get curb rash and scratch too easy.
19x9.5 is better than 19x9 with the rear tire setup.

you can fit a 10.5 int he back if you want. the tire isn't going to move side to side much you know just rotate. rear tire will only rub if you get like 22" and go over a bump.

Nice looking wheel. Ouch on the price. Seems very high for a basically no name wheel.
