Default Ride difference between 18’s and 19’s???

I was wondering if any-1 can tell me the ride difference between 18's and 19's??

I'm thinking of going w/ 18x8.5F and 18x9.5R (Volks GT-C)... yeah..I know every-1 has them for their Z's, but I luv the way they look

My Z is silverstone, so I was thinking of going w/ Gunmetal...

A friend had told me that with 19's I'll really feel every bump and crack on the road...since we have pretty s**ty roads in Albuquerque(

Any info/insight on this matter, please let me know. ThanXXXXX

with 19, when you do fast corner, it didn't feel the same unless you install sway bar. A bit bumpy ride unless you isntall new spring or coilover. However, they look much better.

The ride is a little rougher on 19's keep in mind since the rim is bigger the tire sidewall is smaller (less material to absorb the bumps) on 19s. I love the way the car grips the road, it may also have to do with the width of the tire.
