19's or stock in sf bay area

been off the forum for along time and its my yearly time to buy some new tires for my 05 e55. started of with stock , then went to radenergie 20's which had me repairing the wheels from bent lips on several times a year. got tired of that and went back to stock. found my tires are down to the wear bars so new tires this week for me.

curious if 19's will give me the same problems with bent lips, and having to cringe every time i i hit a pot hole. as i had with 20's? was thinking a lower cost wheel like the Roderick rw2 which i believe might be a 2 piece wheel. been happy with the ride on the stock 18's but miss the look. this is my daily driver.
