a car
I would stick with 18in wheels mainly because 19in wheels might be too much of an agressive fitment. Also, big rims for a car such as that might minimize the performance of the vehicle.

However, if you aren't looking much for performance, more on the lines of looks, try going with 19in wheels; however I wouldn't recommened it. Just my .02.

Depends on what you're trying to achieve. Personally I think the 19 looks nicer, shows more wheel but the flip side is if you have bad roads you'll go through tires.

19's on a bad road make you feel like your nuts are gonna fall out. On a normal smooth road though, not much difference.
