down grade 19 inch wheels to 18 or 17

[Bfan]

I don't have personal experience of 19" but have run both 17 and 18" on my S. From what I have heard, 17 and 18 handle a little better than 19" but I must say that I think 19 are best looking. For me it depends if you are going to track it or not and I guess the ideal is to have 19 daily and 17 or 18 with slicks for track days......

What happen with the "airbags" photo ? Anyway, there are two schools of thought with regard to wheels. There's the group that's mainly concerned with aesthetics, and the other which is more focussed on performance. However, depending on the application, both objectives can be achieved. With that said, ideally you should be looking for a wheel that will result in a significant reduction in unsprung weight and rotational mass, that also appeals to your eye.

I am with Bfan. I have 19 inch for everyday use, and 18 in for track days. I like the look of the 19's but they are heavier, less selection available and more expensive to replace for the track
