I'd get 18/19. I'd originally wanted CCW's, but the nightmare service stories I've been hearing since they were bought by a different company has steered me away from them.
I made that decision a few months ago when I replaced the 2008's original tires. Went to Discount Tire Direct and got Michelins and TSW wheels. Very satisfied and a very good price. Smooth as silk on the road and the wheels get rave reviews. I stayed with the factory issue 18/19 wheels and tire sizes....perhaps I was overly conservative, but I thought it best for purposes of ride quality and also protection from rim damage on rough roads.

Those look great, are they lighter than OEM? I too would stay with the 18/19 setup as there are more tire choices available.
It does depend on how you use the car(and wheels) and how you want the car to look. Larger wheels require larger tires which can cause more weight (which affects steering and other things). After reading a thread over in C7 Gen, I very well might consider Signature which makes forged wheels. If I find the thread, I'll edit this post and add it. Of course there are other forged wheel brands, as well as less expensive wheels, too, from good vendors.

I just went to the Signature Wheels website because I'm in the market for new wheels. And, I KNOW, I did NOT just see a $4500-$6000 price tag! Is that per wheel?!
I think I'm gonna stick with the XO wheels I've found ... Verona 19/20 set up
I have 19/20 360 Forged GT5 wheels on my car but if I had it to do all over again I think I would stay with 18/19 just because you have more tire choices.
Mine look great and ride pretty well because I have Nitto Invo non run flat tires. At first I had Michelin PS2 and with their stiff side walls the ride wasn't quite as good as what I have now.
BBS would by my choice. Nearly pulled the trigger on a set a few years ago and decided to keep my stocks instead. Lot of good choices out there though.
Id say forgestar f14s. 18/19. They look awesome, are light, flow forged and look amazing.
the lighter colors like my brilliant silver make the wheels look bigger if you like that.
more rubber under you as 19/20 set ups are potholes dream. Look better also. Its what the car is supposed to have on it.
good luck in your search. Get your wheels is the place to go. Ask for jason.
