dont' go 19's.
the bacon will give you a hard time, the ride will be harsh and the tyres are more expensive.

The wheels look good, but im sure they have them in smaller. The biggest i'd get is 18's.

It will actually decrease the handling ability, it'll rail road like a b*tch.
Go 18's with a 45 series tyre if you can fit it in.

+2 on the wheels. 19 is way too big, not to mention bacon trouble and a bumpy trip.
dont get the new wheels man, imo the oldies look better than the new ones... i see the new ones on IS200's all the tym.

17/18s are the go, but its a trade-off between then with 18s with 40s and 17s with 45s and yuor current ride height + offset etc
I like 17s on the fto, however 18s do look nice, 19s = no way.
Not withstanding there are a number of rims that look like the one your after.

Agree with all comments so far. I have had 19's for a year on mine. Now back on stock rims, mine got flat spots at the rear..
Had 18's for a few months, although stock hight and I was happy with the handling and ride
