Exclamation Aftermarket wheels and tires NEED HELP!

Just curious what you guys are running as i have always had sports cars and trucks and the wheel choices have been rather easy. Looking to go with something in a 19" wheel and possibly staggered but kinda weird to do on a front wheel drive car wouldnt you think? Opinions NEEDED here and greatly appreciated. If you have pics please share.
Thanks everyone!

At first glance, I thought you said the wheels were King Kong. That would explain the size of the picture. LOL..........

They should look nice, esp on a silver, grey or black car.

Check out the marketplace, our sponsors have good wheels at good prices.

I would not do staggered wheels on FWD, too poseur for me.

^ im running staggered to push out the rear out as much as i can. it looks pretty good staggered, im happy with it. in the end DO what you think you'll like best and is in your best interest. and ignore the $h!T talk when people hate on something you put time and research into.

Thanks guys for your input. My problem is I am used to RWD sports cars and SUV's and this is my first fwd car purchase ever out of 26 cars I have owned in my lifetime..lol
I'm going to check out the sponsors also because they sponsor us only fair to try and deal with them first.

Those konigs are gross and i've seem MANY sets on all sorts of civics & whatnot.

You have a 'classy' car so why not get something many others won't have? Browse thru tirerack and see what they can offer for your car - i'm sure you'll find something that's lightyears nicer than the konigs lol

Tire rack and Discount tire have nothing appealing to me to be honest. Those Konigs arent that hot either to be honest.

My budget depends on how much I like the wheels to be honest.

Those Konigs would look sick on a black or silver ES.
Btw what color is yours?
