19s
9 times out of 10 will usualy LOOK better to most people ... the "big wheel" look is popular and i prefer the look of the larger 19s
Also.. keep this in mind..... if you run a wheel with a lip Vs a wheel design that extends to the edge of the wheel ...say the SSR Professors or virtually any Volks compared to the Advan Model 5s The wheels with lips while looking cool and all,... look at least an inch smaller than they really are ... 19s look like 18's, 18's look like 17's....
I had / have a weird phenomenon to report...
I've had several 18 in volks and otehr 18 inch wheels...as well as 19s over the years....
And STRANGELY... my car seems to FEEL softer and ride better on.... 19s Vs the 18s...
it has perplexed me for years... but i notice it on 3 different sets of 19 inch wheels and 3-4 different sets of 18s....
the 18s alwasy feel more agressive and sporty and better for hammering the car in the canyons & trac k... but on the street in daily driving ... the 19s feel smooother....
i must be nutz...
