philly~my 2 cents, dont go from mesh to mesh and 20's to 19's. if you change, change to a completely different style wheel. just my 2 cents

oh ya, i personally am not too fond of 'curved' mesh.

Seen those rims in person. They look sick. Like others stated though they look really similar to your current setup.

2x to above.

But seriously why downgrade? Are you 'tired' of your 20"s ride and road feel? These look way too similar to Montanas and mesh design in 19" will look much smaller.

Id keep the 20s man....
