You could always buy the 19" rims and then swap out for some 18" rims. that way you get all the perks of the Sports Package.
Kumho is still not making 19s... Maybe next year, or not.

if you swap wheels you are out of the stock class... Any wheel other than the stock wheel has to have the same dimensions as the original OEM equipment plus or minus 1/4 inch from factory offset. So the same diameter and width with just a small difference in offset.

It is even worse since you can't rotate the tires from front to back without swapping the tires on the wheels due to having 9" width on the fronts and 10" on the rear. so you have to spend more money to have the tires swapped from wheel to wheel to rotate them.

Sigh...
