I think the 19's look better. I like the chrome better than the silver too. I have 17's on
my 06 Accord coupe and looking to upgrade soon.

ok in my opinion the 19's look better but if you are going to be doing any racing, any pro will tell you going above a certain size will only slow you down (increased unsprung mass and plainly more mass to get moving).

If you want to roll in a race with 19's go ahead. But i guarantee, you will get noticeably faster lap times and drag times with 17's. Just make sure you get sticky tires, otherwise nothing else on the car matters. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's are the best and have been proven so for a long time.

I run the 17's for daily driving and the 19's for shows right now... i just bought a set of 16" BBS gold center baskets for $150 off of an M6 that I am going to race on. I went from 205/60 16's (factory) at 25.7" tall to 205/40 16 NITTO Neo Gens at 22.44" tall and DAMN did that make a differance! looks like **** lol but damn the car is QUICK!

With the 19's i was running 10.51 in the 8th at 70mph getting to about 5200rpms in 2nd... going this friday with the 17's and getting some "official" numbers then next fri with the 205/40 16's and see EXACTLY what it does with them.

All this may be a moote point as I have the car up for sale localy due to the fact that I can't find any info on converting it to a 6 speed so on to plan B ... sell it and buy a 6 speed and start over.
