Default bigger wheels in back??

hey on my BSP tC i got a set of 19" Konig Unknowns (IMO theyre sexy on a BSP tC) well i need to replace 2 wheels (stupid potholes here in San Antonio)...

my plan was to buy 2 18's (since theyre cheaper in wheels and tires) throw the 18's to the front and put the 2 19's that are good in the back...

granted it wouldn't do nothing performance wise being a FWD car and all, but im lookin what u guys' opinions are on the show aspect of it...

should i do it?? would it look good?? or should i stick with 19's all the way around?

well then it would be 19's all around cause its either buy 2 19's or 4 18's... idk i saw it on a celica and thought it looked cool... just kinda hesitant about doin it on my tC cause i have a feeling it'll look ok but i have another feelin that it would look stoopid... so like i said i was lookin for opinions....

thanks ^_^

anyone else??

I'm not gonna hate like OG up here, but I do agree. Keep them all one size. Honestly, I'd toss the 19's and go with 18's. The potholes here in Houston can't be much better than San Antonio so you'd probably save yourself a lot of money if you just went down in size. Drop it a bit and you'll be golden! Just the opinion of a guy that couldn't afford to but new rims and tires on a regular basis due to crap-tastic roads!

dude its the stupid south texas heat messes up the roads... and yea i wanted to go with 18's but i found these 19's used rims and tires for only $400... and i couldn't pass that deal up, 3 tires were new and under warranty and one wheel was new... the guy said he was going through a divorce and he knew his wife was gonna take the STI so he was getting rid of alot alot of parts... poor guy, he said he was losing everything... but i mean his loss is my gain lol so i went with 19's

Well you can't beat that kind of deal. Well get a few new 19's and just drive really gingerly. Those rims do you good that car.
