X3 and 2012 C coming soon
Get 19s, especially if they are the multispoke. It's the upgrade and will cost less to do it now. You can always get 18s later if you need them for winter or something.

get the 18's now and put them into the loan, get the 19's later. Cheaper in the long run. Unless you're not taking out a loan...

I thought the 19" were only available with the performance package and I heard that the 19" were not going to be shipped to the US market. I read that on another thread unless I misread it.

From a practical point of view the 19's will be more of a pain to clean. Probably not such a great issue now but if you live somewhere cold and it is now Jan 2009 and you are about to go outside with your toohbrush and bucket you will be thanking me no doubt

Do they make the ride quality suffer more as well?

Regards

Andy
