I agree Perfect. I also don't have a single friend with 19s who hasn't been to his favorite pot-hole luck wheel replacement party. Several times it has been BOTH on the same side of the car. I replaced an 18 on an RX8 for the same eason, but 19s are just asking for it. Might be a good idea to buy spares when you make your initial purchase.
Most of us seem to have our cars as second cars, but I still do trips in mine and I'm not interested in sitting in some Montana motel, waiting for a replacement wheel/tire set from Tirerack.........enough risk of that with 18s and 40 series tires.
