Nice looking rims but they look WAY too big for the car...

were the best how.. just for looks?? From a performance stance... 19's make no sense for the S2k. The HRE's look great.. but thats all they really do is look good.. you even said they rub in the rear and I can't image how much those boat anchors weigh. If your going for just looks.. car looks fabulous.... but the performance has just been sacrificed for that.

Funny, but mean

Some people do buy the S for looks and not performance, so 19's would suit that. I do miss the look of my old 18's, but I love the comfort (bigger tires) and handling of my 17's (which are wider than my 18's were). I also appreciate the price of tires on the 17 inch wheels

I'd hate to think of what rubber for those 19's runs and how often they're being replaced

Be careful with that rubbing - what may not be an issue today can be one down the road.
