Every car I've seen these on looks fantastic. Not to mention they only weigh 24lbs. And for a 8.5" rim that's great.

I've done price shopping for 2 weeks and Discount Tires - Discounttires.com has the lowest prices on tires and wheels, all name brands, and a huge inventory. In most cases, shipping is one to two days guaranteed. is by FAR the lowest.

This is NOT Discount Tire. it's a different company

19" wheels are too big for the Forte, I'd say 18's max.

Nice rim. I'd personally stick in the 16-18 range especially if you are lowered, but someone here has 20s on a forte. Personal preference, do what you like, you can't go wrong that way.

How about 18 in the front and 19 in the back with lower profile but wider tire since it looks like there's more space in the back for a wider tire.

ya stockey I thought of that but kinda feel weird with a staggered look knowing it's not rear wheel drive. plus, tire rotating goes out the window...

I hope you have coilovers. I think that's the only way you'll be able to completely pull the look off. You're going to want to lower it as much as possible b/c 19's w/o a drop will look like a donk.
