Your car looks really nice. I like those rims alot. I especially like the pic from behind where you are looking at the exhaust and can see the wide rear tire poking out a little. It looks mean.

Will a 19X10 fit in the rear?
The Oz Vela 3PC looks like a real nice wheel. The Tire Rack site shows it as being available in 17,18,22 and 23 inches. Not 19.
I have no Idea if a 19" wheel would fit. The sidewalls on a 19" would be very very thin would they not? That is a D+3" bump so to keep the overall outside diameter the same the sidewalls would be aprox 2 1/2" tall which is not very large at all. I think the ride may be quite harsh at 19". If the OD is held the same, given a good fitment the 19 X 10 would fit. If the Outside Diameter would get larger, then on a lowered car the chance is that you could rub against something.

Thanks, yah they look awsome (IMO) from the rear end and front too. I was greatly amazed that the bid 10" did not extend out beyond the rear fender panel. The guys at TireRack did their homework with SSR to derive a good fitment. The car steering geometry is not compromized either. She feels no different or squirley even with the wider stance. the S-03 have a great tread pattern. However the picture you refer to does not show well. It was not lite well to show just how far inside (toward the muffler) the tire extends. At the ground they are about 11" wide. Real ant killers.

Nice looking rims and rotors. Those cross drilled rotors stand out with those rims. NICE!!!
