Have you priced 19" tires versus 18s?

A considerable difference and one you'll pay every year or so. It isn't just the initial wheel investment....but the reoccurring costs.

What are your roads like? Smooth and you can run ultra-low profile tires. Not so good and you'll bend those new rims the first time you hit a bad pot hole. The lower the profile of the tire the less give there is when hitting an object before the object contacts something very very expensive.

I see lots of chrome wheels with problems. Repair of a "painted" one is cheaper too.
