People with Rims, did you have 18's or 19's

Simple question, I just want to know those who have made the decision to purchase Rims, did you have the 18's or 19's, I love the way my car looks with the 19's, one reason I opted for the Sports package

Seems like the area Im in, ATL/Marietta, many of the Maximas have the 18's, I have seen one Maxima with 19's

Tires for 19s cost quite a bit more. But 19s are the sweet spot between performance and appearance IMO. It all depends on what you're looking for.

I had the OE 18"s (blah) and upgraded to aftermarket 20"s. If I had the OE 19"s, I may not have upgraded; they're sweet.

Car & Driver mag just did a road test for a Golf GTI for the same wheel/tire, but started with a 15" and went all the way to a 19" - the 18"s were the best overall performer, IIRC, because the 19" sidewall made the car a bit looser on the skidpad. They had said that if they went with a higher tread-wear 17" that it would've prolly been the best; but that purely on aesthetics alone, they would still opt for the 18"s. Interesting article if ya guys have a chance to read it!

I stayed with the 18's aftermarket of course due to I like how the car handled and rides and now it's even better with the RSB, FSTB and Eibachs.
