NEED PICS OF CARS WITH 18's and Lowered!!
I'm debating if I should go 18's or 19's and I need help..
I don't want to sacrifice too much HP and I care more about functionality...your opinions are appreciated!!

check out waveykat's ride, hes lowered and jus switched to 18's, carlsson reps, looks real nice. if u go 18, get a flat design to make the wheel appear bigger. jus get 19's man, haha, ive been debating too, but im like whatever 19's are what looks best. but i also like c's dumped on 18's.

you can still have functionality if a 19 inch wheel is light...i.e. 3 piece wheel. if you get a heavy 18 inch then you're losing functionality. find a lightweight wheel.....
otherwise, i advise to go 19's all the way!!!!

But if ur interested I can sell them to you, and we can cut a deal. I like the new H&R's that neal showed the other day from the sema show. Pm me , i know youre somewhat local in the miami tampa orlando metro area and would rather
sell to some one like urself than ship it anywhere.

for all those guys that posted pic, i appreciate it A LOT!!! THANKS!!!
sup anthuny, i really wanna go 18's too because I want to be as close to the original diameter to not throw off the ESP and I drive to SF downtown almost everyday and I don't want to be bursting tires from potholes

i love your car mig888! made me feel so much better with my choice!!! it's clean and perfect in proportion. I used to be in the JDM world with an evo and I never went more than 18's because performance was important for me...same with my c230 now and I also want to make sense with all the potholes in SF downtown
