2. Will they fit? Did you post offsets?

I think if done right, the right set of 18's can look just as good, and Im sure will perform or ride better than others sizes.
That's one of the reasons why I won't be getting rid of them.

If I were to get a set of 19's, I want to get a set of JDMs VIP Dish Style like the JPs or Auto Couture or even the Work Euro line...although my Kit is more tuner style.

I think 18s are fine too. I'd rather save the rotating weight and have the extra tire cushion. I love the way my car rides with the oem 18s. If I ever do buy a set of forged wheels, it'll probably be 18s.

I think if it were a question of 18 vs. 19 i'd vote for 20's 
ok, joking aside I think you should go 19's since you are getting a kit and let alone not some conservative kit but a very aggressive kit like the Vertex needs to be filled in. What ever you do make sure you go very aggressive with the offsets aswell cuz I've seen the vertex in person and it flares out a lot on the sides so it will swallow up conservative offset wheels....I say hold on for a little bit and you'll be much happier later.
Hameed- your car rolling in that photo looks just amazing, I don't care what size wheels you have.

I know right, these guys have seriously took this GS modding thing somewhere ELSE!! I'm seeing JP tailights pop up like they are on the shelf at Pep Boys!! lol
On topic - i vote 19s with fat tire setup, search for GSing430 for a nice example (bitkahuna is another with no aero for comparison)
