19's will definately look nicer, but 18's will be much more comfortable for daily driving. I think 18's are a good compromise between looks and performance.

 

Depends what kind the road you are driving on. Since you got H&R, the ride will be more stiff and noise for the 19'.

 

18's are plenty. One pothole and your 19's are toast, rims and tires. Besides, you can get an 18 that will be the right size, 19s will be too tall compared to stock overall height causing rubbing and speedo errors. Besides the $ difference between the two is sick!

 

Xeon, unless this is not a daily driver and you can avoid all potholes, go for the 18s. I think 17 inchers in Dallas with 45 profile are as risky as I will get because of all the construction and potholes here. But only go to 18s at most IMO- as you go further up the scale, the ride gets stiffer (sidewalls on tires are stronger), your wheels are prone to bend to every hole or curb on or in road and you may get more noise. (also tires get a lot more expensive and high performance soft - treadwear rating goes low)

 

i have decided....although against what my countryman think..i will go 18!

 

19's in the back...18's in the front. Dog it out!

 

19.......??????????? I had 18 on my slk 230 sport with H&R spring and Bilstein sport shock. Damn, that thing ride like a tank !!! Only after one month and i'm going back to 17 factory wheels.

 

20 inch Kustom Khromes and a fake dual exhaust, and you'll be set.

 

xeon....i would have to say 19's

 

for the best all around usability... i think i would have to go for the 18's. 19"s look awesome tho- good for show, not for ride

 

silent rage, you must have the largest wheels i have ever heard of, i have seen some big wheels on earth moving equipment, but i don't ever recall seeing a 19' wheel. you have to post a pic. bigfoot will be jelous as hell.

 

Sdcalint, there are up to 24" rims out there now! Get used to the huge rim with no tire look. Its almost all show and very impractical to drive daily. Take a look at tirerack's page for some ideas.

 

i think he meant 19' like 19 FOOT mdp hahahhaha

 

you must not have much common sense. it's obvious that i meant 19 inches...
