I'm no wheel expert, but I did get the 19 inch wheels on my RC, and I think the factory wheels look fine with the red, so I'm not changing anything. As for the original post here, I think those new wheels he added to his dark grey car look very, very nice indeed. Well done.
As for all the comments about personal taste, can't we just have a rule here that, by default, the reminder that your taste might vary shall be presumed to have been included in every post. This will save us all a lot of time and typing.

Thanks!
I got them direct from Upwheels.com. I got a little bit of a discount that I cannot share since I have purchased wheels from them before. They are local to me here in CA.
Give them a call, look for Jimmy and he can make things happen.

Might as well keep the stockers on if you're going to buy 18's.
My car is a lease too. I put 20's on it. By the time the lease is over I will need tires again. If I decide to turn the car in i will just put the stockers back on. That way I won't be charged for bald tires.

But its all good. Do your thing.
Are you saying that 20" wheels are better?

20's look good but aren't they a hard ride besides being expensive?

It depends on what is most important to you. For performance driving, 19 is best.
This car has huge space underneath the fenders and it would need to be slammed for 19's to look best.
For best looks 20's are better. You can still drive it like you stole it if you're fitment is not too aggressive. For me 20's are best. But my drop is conservative and my fitment is fairly conservative, so it all works the way I like it.

Really clean set-up for sure! I'd do the same thing since I'm at a 24 month lease too. Why put too much $ into a car that you'll be possibly be giving back? Wise decision to go with 19's. Have no worries, I was told that there was no need to worry about tires going bad in 2 years. I'm still debating on what to do on my Ultra White RC. For sure a light tint (35% all around) to be safe with the po-po, took off the front plate since dealer wouldn't . I'd really like a new exhaust set-up, but I'm not too sure if I should touch that delicate system. We'll see.
