I was looking for this set like but definitely not in 19". Tires are too pricey and options are too limited. At this price point the wheels are definitely over 30 pounds each. That's going to make for a bumpy ride if the tire is also heavy. More stress on the suspsension and other bits that will start to break or rattle. Cosmetically, If you don't lower the car the 19" wheels make the car look like an SUV on 22" wheels.

I'm not too skeptical about price, it is afterall an alloy and not a forged piece. Like with everything else there is a huge mark up for imported goods. Even if you paid double you are still over paying because a cheap to produce cast alloy wheel will easily dent if you punt it at just the wrong angle. Which of course makes spending $2000+ for the factory versions plain nuts.
