Alright.. i tried to do a search on that thread on 18's vs. 19's .. could someone help me find it? or.. if you have a suggestion.. feel free to post up..

... which one would you prefer? 18's or 19's? Pro's and Con's? is it just the "balla" factor or is it functional? help please..

From personal experience... By going to a larger wheel, you lose both ride quality and cornering ability. The extra bit of flexibility a taller sidewall gives you does wonders.

BUT, larger wheels (with the right style/finish anyways) always look soooo much better. And they do give you a slightly faster turn-in... Feels faster, if nothing else.

Me? I'd stick with some sleek 18's, then drop the car a bit.

18 for sure here.
lighter, less expensive (and tires) better performance and can be great looking too with the right setup...

They look really good. I like the spaces within the spokes. How much do they weigh? How much are they? Are you gonna go with 18s or 19s?

I have 18s aftermarket rim, but after i bought the ROTORA big brake it, the 18 won't even fit. The rotora brake kit need 19 inch rim and 3 piece rim, so now i need to pay 3000 extra dollar for new sets of 19 inch rims. it sucks so if you plan to get big brake kit, go with 19 and less offset

if you mean the 355mm rotora brake kit, it can fit with spacers even on stock rims... someone -crazy enough- I know, fitted them by doing some cutting on the rim... hope he won't get killed...

18s - go fast

19s - look fast

Right off the konig website: http://www.konighweels.com/

Holes Graphite 18x7.5 Graphite Center Machined Lip 21.32 lbs lbs. Call for Price.

I like their website more than other wheel manufacturers, because they actually give the weight with each size. Also most of their wheels are over 20 lbs (talking 18s or larger).

I really liked the Konig Hurry, but the largest size is 17x7. Damn.

Nice looking wheels man. I can't find any info on them, or price. Do you have specs?

Found some nice pics on www.tsw.com though.

I think 18's are plenty big enough. If you go any bigger, the car will look more "cartoonish." When I go to the parking lot a work, my wheels look so odd (but modern) compared to the cars around mine.
