Default Torn between 18'' rims and 19'' rims

So I've been looking to get rims for my sb Z...and I can't decide what size rims to get....18's or 19's.

I have the performance model 18's on my car right now, and getting aftermarket 18's would be good since it'll be cheaper and I won't have to worry about changing suspension, etc.

But....19's look niiiice.

The last thing I want to do is buy 18's and then get rim envy.

What do you guys think? Is it worth the extra money and work on your car to get 19's?

extra work? 18s and 19s make no difference, you just put less sidewall, there is no suspension difference.

the differences are only in price and performance, 18s cost less, and I wont comment on performance cause its a debatable issue, lets say 18s atleast offer a slight advantage in performance. 19s have the subjective appearance.

Ares, how many times have we debated this??? Heh, I agree with what you said.

If you plan on going to the dragstrip, definitely get the 18s. Otherwise, the decision is up to you and your pocketbook. You should do a search, this issue has been argued many times.
