19x11 wheels if some looking to go this route

How’s the handling and ride? I had 19s and hated the ride plus the weight killed the handling. It looked great but went with some light weight 18s and it made a huge difference in ride quality and handling. The turn in change was transformative in my opinion.

Interesting. It was always my understanding that the larger wheel and lower profile tire always delivered superior handling, with some negative influence on ride quality and higher susceptibility to bent rims. But you're saying the 18" delivered better handling. Was the better handling solely because of the weight reduction? If both the 19" and 18" were the same weight, wouldn't the 19" handle better?

Interesting... mine handles like it’s on rails. However, I’ve got fairly aggressive alignment as well. Mine has only had the 19’s since I bought it, so I can’t really say anything to the comparison.
