Welcome to the club. You should post as an attachment.
Look cool I like a more open look like 5 spokes with rivets. 19s look just right. Light weight 19s with 245/40/19 tires is on my wish list.

really? I have 20x9 no rub lock to lock. i like the wheel but think they are too small for the car. 19's are perfect on gs's, the ls430's are good with 20's, the ls460's are good with 22"s

Why do they rub? Im looking at some 19s also that Im told are direct fits, but if theyre going to rub I dont want them. Is your offset off?

When turned to a lock it rubs inside the wheel well. I suspect they all do once you get up to this size but most don't notice the low noise.

depends on what wheel you put on if it looks "pimpy or not" and if you lower it or don't. Everyone has a matter of preference. Is this a staggered setup?

Not staggered. I think I am at the border of "pimp" any bigger and any more chrome would push me over. In my opinion of course.

Nice, classy setup. 19s look good and depending on tire choice ya should have a bit more cushion compared to 20s.

Not that you asked, but as I personally hate any kind of rubbing, I wonder if these would make sense for you: http://www.dragtimes.com/parts/3mm-L...494422744.html

Not hubcentric per se, but at only 3mm your stock hub center may protrude enough to provide centering w/ yer aftermarket rings. Also at only 3mm I've read that you do not need longer lugs as you still should get 7 full lugnut turns. Maybe others can weigh in on this one. But...if the rubbing doesn't bother you than just enjoy your nice ride.
