Actually, the 1 piece RH Evolution C2's are available in 19" (but only by 7.5")

I wish Volk would make some 19" and 20" forged 1 piece rims for the North American market...

Sasha,

I got an idea... since you seem like you're going to drag your car. Get what ever 19's you want... but reserve a set of 16 in drag rims and tires for the best grip and launching capabilities. Try Hoosier, they are depenable.

Sasha, the owner of one of the very few exotic car sales places here in Austin had the RH C2 in 19". It was on a Blk.on Blk. GS400. He ran 245 fronts and 275 rears. I was able to look at it up close on a few occassions while I was shopping for rims for my car.
Although money will always factor into the final buying decision, make sure you go all out on your rim choice. You will never look at your car and say "I wish I would have spent less money and gotten a lesser quality rim"......But, if you dont go all out, the opposite may happen. Tiny

Is very sharp...You definitely could not go wrong with that rim... As others have already posted, RH is of the highest quality. But, they dont fall into the category of lightest 19" that you originally posted about. Ive seen so many awesome 19's and 20's on the ClubLexus web-site. I now feel that rims(like chicks) only get soooo fine. Once you reach that level of quality, they arent any better than one another, just different...LOL....

Sasha,

Where are you gonna go to buy the new wheels??
I'm not sure if you checked out Wheels Direct in Markham but they have a great selection and their prices rock!

That's where I scored the LD1's for the SC.. Anyways here is their website.. Gotta boot time for work..
