Have you checked out the cost of winter tyres on the 19s?
Here in the uk my 19" rears would have been £700 EACH - ended up buying a 2nd hand set of 18"s in a square setup for £800 with a decent amount of tread from a dealer.
No idea how things work in Canada but here in the uk insurance companies would be gouging you for having none "standard" wheels. I just about get away with BMW 18s with a decent insurer.
