Really it depends upon the budget you set. Of those listed I prefer the 5 spoke without the rivets. I tend to like simple, easy to clean wheels though.

19's allow for a very small amount of rubber to protect them. There's also a pretty hefty difference in weights between that and a 18.
I've got 18s, and agree with others here that it's the optimal size, at least to me.

would the Linea Corse Lemans Hyper Silver fit the coupe, cause i know the rear wheel is 19x10 which is a little wider then the other wheels.
do you guy's have any suggestions on 18's i could get instead?

Cough Cough
my 19s weight less than my stock 17s
so don't worry about weight. (my comment isn't between these wheels but just wheels in general)
One thing I learned is don't cheap out on wheels. You get what you pay for BUT I felt a HUGE difference between the Lorinsers and the VOLKs even though the Lorinsers cost much more than the VOLKs.

I think that Kirstie Alley has been using the same logic as you.

No offense to the OP but i'm sure they weigh much less that the 18's he has posted up there.
This isn't to stroke my wheels just in general. Same goes with BBS wheels as well.
Like I said the Lorinser exact same size feels almost double the weight. Even 18's wont weight less.

makes sense but my original comment wasn't specific to these wheels but in general. That people usually think 19s weigh more that may be the case with same wheels but not the case with different brands.
Howard, your correct I think 19's might look to big on the coupe as well

get 18's, and use the extra cash to get a decent set of rubbers

As far as the second point, I recommend Magnums.

thank you all for your comments and great suggestions,
it does make since to go with 18's. I wanted 18's at first, but i couldnt really find any wheels that I liked that are 18's. and I found this 3 wheels that I like but there all 19's. and since I am only lowering the car with H&R springs. I thought that the car would look best with 19's, but like you all said most of the 19's weight to much. which is true. So....
do you guys have any suggestions on some good light weight 18's wheels?
( I want a staggered setup)
