i think 19s look good on 4th gens. I have yet to see them on 3rd gens though. Besides the generic Iroc wheels! For a daily driver there is only so much you can do before it becomes impractical. But i think if you have the means, like say an adjustable suspension in a matter of minutes, then by all means go for it! Hey Flynlow, wouldn't 19s make that LS1 swap slower!! lol just messing with ya Not the best way to go if you want to go fast on the street.

my 18's weigh less then my cast 16''s did and the dr's hook better too. can't say the same for 19's though and each wheel is different in weight.

19's would be a bit rough on the street. as hard as it is i would have to go with a slightly taller tire dimension then stock running 19's because it's hard to get by on the street with 18's. i think the 19's would look nicer though especially with a lip design that's over 2". on a flat face rim 18's would be alright.

i have yet to see a 19" iroc wheel though...if anyone has a picture of that post it up.
