18's or 19's?
I've decided what rims I want but cant decide on 18's or 19's for performance. what do you guys think?
Here are the rims I want to get there called the ST-1s or "the beast" in hyper silver http://www.sternwheels.com/ Let me know what you guys think.

Thats awesome lexaristo, I would love to see a picture of V8's car and I should rephrase the question maybe which size is best handling and performance ?

YOu have to remember that the bigger the wheel the more rotational weight you add. So if you were truly going to race your GS, you would probably get the lightest 17s you could find. But go with the 19s, it is going to look way better.

I personally have had every size of rollers on a GS except 18's. Seems to me that 19" is the perfect in -between alternative to 18" or 20" wheels. Not as much of a sacrifice in ride quality as 20's yet you are still getting a bigger look. Who gives a damn about this whole stupid "dubs" "look at me, I got 20's thing"? That trend is so played out. I currnetly have 19's and I won;t go back to 20's for anything. Good luck with your deicsion, and get some pics up once you make the move!!

For performance and handling, the comment on 17's is correct. 18's would be a compromise, and 19's are stupid if you plan to do any kind of road course racing or otherwise. I have 18's and I have to be so friggin careful never to hit anything I can't imagine having bigger. With 19's, hit a big pothole and see ya rim.

I have 20s on my 94. Although it looks sick, it has been nothing but a huge pain in the ***. I keep getting flats, (not cheap) going through wheel bearings, and brakes. I think I'd go 18s
