I doubt this car can move 19" wheels with the little torque it's got.

I'm pretty sure these are the wheels i will get for my raven. I don't know about 19's though. Anybody know if it's more "practical" to get 18's?

You will have more sidewall to protect them for sure and they will be a lighter also. I found my "perfect" wheel but they only have 19's left so i'm having trouble placing the order.

Yes.
Less weight.
Less $ for wheels.
Less $ for tires.
More sidewall.

Love, love, love these wheels. Does anybody know if the 18's are lighter than the stock 17's?

I think my 19"s are about the same weight as stock. I assume the 18"s will be lighter

British racing green for Release Series FRS would be sick!

I think you could drop it a little bit more. Not much though. It looks too tall to me. Or you need an aero kit. IMO
