And I think cast wheels are OK if they come rom a reputable maker, but they won't be the lightest. I'm on OZ sthat are cast/rotary forged and they came highly recommended as better than factory.
Great advice. The 19s may (according to one's preference) look better. Likely inferior in most other dimensions including cost, ride, noise, durability.

I love OZ wheels and have had several sets. Sadly, just bent one of my newest OZs (see bent wheel thread in the forum).
