The gas wont be that noticeable. I prefer the 18's I don't care for the ride of 19's but that just me.

completely agree. the car is an expression of yourself. do what you visually like to the car.
19s will offer a harsher ride than 18s (from what i hear)
also consider the cost of tires as you upgrade wheel size.
also id take a look at the different options on the wheel and tire sticky that toga posted. im sure some cars have a before and after lowered look. if you think that the car is fine with just 19s/18s at stock height, then do it.
then again, you dont and personally think you lose the enjoyment of modding if you do everything all at once. so if you get rims, get the rims, drive and look at it for awhile. if you are pleased with the way your car looks, keep it. if you think the right height is too high for the rims, adjust accordingly with how high....er low you want to go
good luck and happy modding. show us the rims you are considering!

For a few more bucks go for the Forgestar's.
That would definitely spark interest in a group buy for sure. Finding a vendor to participate might be a little tough. Who knows though...
