18's or 19's

I really like the volk te37's in 19" but I dont want my handling/speed to suffer.
What should I go with?:
18" with 40 profile or
19" with 35 profile

19's for sure. it is NOT that big of a performance loss...ppl who claim that are usually those with 18's..

If you do get 18's get some WIDE tires, will look great and improve handling.

The tire choices are huge for 18's while for 19's its very limited, you might want to take into account as well.

Although at this time tire choices may be limited in the near future it shouldn't be as manufaturers a catching up. Also the cost of a 19" tire versus a 18" is not that big. My vote is 19"

19's, ride is not compromised and believe me, this was a HUGE concern for me. Sorry in advance, but 18's just don't look right to me.

19s looks best; However I'd rather have 18s driving on bad city streets. IMO 19s leave you with too little sidewall to protect those expensive wheels.
