Question Rim Help !!!

I recently got a 2006 Salsa Red 2.5l NB and I am beginning to wonder what MODs to add to it. First I was thinking deff. of adding a rear spolier and eyelids to the front. I want to add new rims as well, and tint the windows sometime soon. I was wondering what bolt size i would need for getting new rims??, also if 19's would fit??. I've been looking on tirerack.com and like the looks of a few. Heres a picture of my car as it is now.



i would love any advice or thoughts anyone has about anything
thanks!!

19s would be kinda tight, but it's not impossible. Lots of people do it.

My personal thought is anything over 18 is pushing it on a Beetle, but that's only my opinion.

Default stick with 17's

I'd stick with the 17's and drop it an inch or two. That's my thought on the situation. And don't go all bling blingy. it's over kill for the bug. Stick to something subtle, it looks better that way.
