20" Wheels to 19"?

So, had to replace the rear tires on my car this week. Decided to have the tire shop put tpms back in the wheels (previous owner removed them). In doing so, the shop damaged my rims and has cut me a check to replace them. The ones that I want to replace them with only come in 19s. Do you think it'll look drastically different? I know it's only 1", but figured I would ask. I'm sure there are some that have gone down in size before. Also, if anyone is currently running 19s, can you post pics of your car?

Very nice. One thing that I like is there's more of a sidewall than the 20s. Love the ducktail too.

I'll be doing the same when I get a chance. More side wall is better IMO.

Seven makes me drool.

Ironically I just got rid of the ducktail

The texas sun was warping it a little and I didn't like the fitment
It looked good but I knew it wasn't perfect

Still looking good with the 19's. Is it a spoiler delete now?
Why the front plate? Changed laws?

It is

Bought a carbon fiber trunk lid

Just gotta get it painted but the crappy part is the rear fenders have two holes each side from there the spoiler little side pieces were attached

I have to say, that's an excellent mod - I don't mind the stainless or chrome exhaust tips, but I really detest seeing that big silver metal muffler at all on my car. I'd love it if they were black so they just disappeared!

Love the Raxiom tail lights. Just put those on mine too.

Anyone else care to show off their 19s?

Thank you guys, but it's actually deep impact blue but i wanted to see it in a ruby red.

But back to the 19's....

I have a set of 20" supersnake replicas to go on in spring but everytime i see these 19's i love them all over again. But they are a serious PITA to clean. the cost of rubber to wrap those 20's in will almost kill me too.
