Any advantages of 19" vs 18" wheels?

[djomlas]

+: better steering response,easier to clean ur calipers hehe, and just look good
-:more expensive to get, more expensive tires, harsher ride due to lack of sidewall

There are definite Pros and Cons. Then, you have to assign whatever weight to each that your experience, wants, beliefs and such demand.

Pros

Better Steering response (but, maybe not all that noticeable in street driving)

Increased 'Road Feel'

Aesthetics - fills out the wheel wells, the Hot trend, may gain the respect of your peers



Cons

Increased 'Road Feel'

Usually heavier

Usually costlier

More expensive Tires

Can affect MPG

May not allow for a Tire change due to the mismatched spare

Possibly unable to fit the flat roadwheel in the trunk (wanna leave a $600-$1000 wheel on the roadside or put it on your nice leather seat?)

Possibly a greater magnet for thieves and vandals

Aesthetics - may signal that you're trendy, may gain the ridicule of your peers

Again, so far as street driving, there's not alot of advantage (though there are some depending on how much weight you give to each point). Many are very happy having 19s.

Your car + your $ = your decision. Good luck.
