Depends. Are the 19's a large width as well? Like, are the 18's 18/7.5 and the 19's 19/8?

The extra width along w/ the diameter increase will add a few pounds of rolling mass on each corner. You'll notice a difference, but the stockers are about 24lbs each, IIRC. If you get lighter tires than the Pirelli's and the aftermarket rims aren't much more than 24, who cares?

The stockers are 23.8lbs each, with the Pirellis coming in at about 29lbs (?!?!) each. So if the rims you get are, say, 26lbs each but you put on Pilot Sport PS2 tires at 23lbs each, you rolling weight will actually go down a hair.

Of course, those don't look like lightweight wheels. Have you looked at Centerline wheels?

Of those two choices, I'd go with "A". I personally don't care for two-tone wheels, but I like the style of them.

Just ordered the LiquidMetal (first ones) from tiresdelivered.. Thanks to everyone that voted and helped me decide. I'm going to be putting the stock Perllies (i murdered that word... o well) on because they still have pretty much all the tread left on them...
