Not too bad. Picture 1 or 2 would be my preference, depending on whether your style incorporates that red strip. But man, you can't do 19's without a bit of lowering. The thin tire wall just accentuates the fender gap too much. :?

Ok so I put in an order for the wheels and I should be able to pick them up Monday or Tuesday. I got them for $1180 + tyres from Allwheels in Castle Hill, NSW.

I got the ones with a red lip because it breaks the black up a bit and it also reminds me of my red rings around my gauges.

I think that if I don’t like the red lip I can easily cover up the red because it's in a grove and the 2 rims are no different.

So I got the 19" x 8.5 with a 45 offset 235/35/19 hope they fit ok.

I was cleaning my bilstein suspension today to make sure the yellow is visible behind the wheels but i also saw that my stock tire is very close to the suspension i cant see where the the extra inch and a half is going to go. Hope it all works out. Maybe i was mean to go 225 like Laps did, only thing about this is that the wall will be smaller on the tyre. I found out that the 235/35/19 is already smaller in OD than my stock tyre if anything i wanted it to be bigger and i dont think a 245/35/19 will fit.
