How do you justify the 19s? I'm guessing the car would be slower with them on - what's the trade-off in benefit, more grip?

There is no real performance benefit with 19's that i can think of. If you want more grip you can just get a wider 18 inch wheel in order to house a wider tyre. The only other issue is brake clearance but i would imagine that an 18 inch wheel with low offsets would be big enough to house large discs and calipers.
But you gotta admit, it looks hot with 19's though and those flared guards. So i would go 19's simply for aesthetic reasons and sacrifice a little extra weight.
