Thanks for the wonderful comments. When I look at my car now, it really puts a smile on my face. I love the new look. I was also concerned from some comments that the 19 inch tires would not handle as well as the 16 inch, but I don't find that true. In fact, I find they handle better. But the old 16 inch tires were old and the rubber wasn't very soft anymore. I had considered putting on 215 - 70R radials, but since my car steers on the hard side, that would have been really bad and also given it the chopped look.

As for my 16 inch wheels, I plan to keep them for now, so I have options down the road, if I choose to use them.
