Wheel help, what do you think?

18 or 19 in these http://mrrwheels.com/hr5.html

Or these 19 only Tirerack

With 18s, the ride will be softer (which is why I prefer benz over BMW) and I won’t worry about every bump damaging the rim (Chicago roads)…
19s will also make my already small brakes look smaller… but they look hot!

Now I’m getting these with tires, but also thinking that if I will need to get tires again for these rims, 18s will be cheaper…
Also thinking of getting 245s all around that way I can flip them back to front and not be in the same boat as I am now with rears gone and fronts brand spanking new….

What yall think?

well as far as tires go, you dont have to replace the fronts when the rears are cooked.i wouldn't put 245's all around. its like two rear sets of tires to one front. is ur car lowered?

I would go with the MRR's over the ones from tirerack. And def go with 19. You don't want to go with 18's only to wish you would of gone bigger.

If the tires are the same all around, I can make them last twice as long by flipping fronts to back, thats why i'm thinking to do 245s all around. I don't think it would hinder the performance any.
I'm a bit conserned with loosing too much ride quality with such low profile tires if i go with 19s. the car is stock hight.

why do you want all four rims the same width? Your rears should stick out more. Just get them staggered and put on ur oem wheels during winter. So your tires will last longer.
