The gunmetal on your car will look great!
Weight wise, they're basically on par with what you'd expect from a 19'' rim; pretty heavy. You'll undoubtedly lose some performance as compared to the stock rims but so long as you don't take the car to the track or can overlook that it won't really matter. They're great rims.

Might be a little biased.

I think I could overlook the weight considering I'm not out to set land speed records. Otherwise I just have yet to find a set of 18s that look as good or are as economical.
SOME day I'll have enough go-fast goodies to warrant a run at the track to earn her stripes, at which time I'll have the cashflow to support a set of appropriate lightweight wheels with drag radials.

One more Q. Hows the ride quality? Is it bareable? Moreso?

Ride quality is great, surprisingly-so since the roads here in LA are beat to shi*. I'm running on Vredstein Sessenta Ultrac tires. I've had them for >5k miles and are one of the better brands out there. You should definitely look into those as they improve the ride quality by a great deal especially when you move up rim sizes. Hope that helps!
Also, what tire sizes you end up with?? Any fender mods at all?

225/35/19 front 265/30/19 rears with no rubbing at all or fender mods; unless there's three people in the back going up a hill or something.
