Tell Me Why I should Get 19's
I'm Looking into some new wheels. Some people say I would be sorry if I didn't get 19's. It seems as thought the selection drops for 19's.
I'm wanting 255/40 F and 275/40 R
Tell me what is better about 19's

depends on the wheel also. Some wheels looks too small in 18's.
I was set on going with 18's mainly because they perform a little better but after looking into it I decided to go with 19's. They just look better and the compromise isn't much as far as performance/ride. If your gonna spend the money for aftermarket wheels for the looks then don't compromise on the looks. Otherwise just keep the stock wheels.

You shouldn't (unless money is no object and you're much more into looks than performance.) They're heavier and tires cost much more for them.

in pictures 19's look oh so good. but in person all the 19's i have seen look to big.
if ithis is a regular driving car. (daily car) stick to 18's you can get some really nice 18's with a semi lip and a small drop that WILL make z look awsome.

I'm trying decide this also....think I'm going with 18's.
Everytime I go "to big" with my other cars I bend a wheel. And I want a more comfortable ride also. I may order black CCW wheels, great looking wheels. www.ccwheel.com

reason's to get 19's:
- some people like how they look
reason's to NOT get 19's
- heavier
- not as much rubber to grab the ground with
- cost more
- tires cost more
- more risk of bending the wheels
- bumpier ride
- spokes look too long and wheel looks too big IMO
