No probs on handeling. Just dont put 19X10's in the rear or you will have to do some fender work. 19X9 would be best or 19X8.5. You can however put 19X10 in a CI with very little fender work.

If your wheels are heavy you'll feel like you're dragging concrete blocks behind your car.

19 x 8.5 fits incredible, I have had 235/35/19" on all four wheels since april I am by the way selling four AC Schnitzer Type III's wrapped in Pirelli P 7000's new condition due to the car is a weekend driver.
I have a shop and sell them for about $850 a wheel new and tires about $200 each that's $4,200 I'll give you these for $2,800 I want to stagger a new set of the Type III two piece wheels I always sell my own stuff for cost so I never sit on anything.Oh yea These wheels weigh about 21 lbs each, light.
