Default 19" or 18"

so I know most of u have upgraded your wheels from the stock 17". What is better for the car itself and ride quality? 19" or 18" I know 19" LOOKS better but I also don't want my car to handle and feel like crap. check the sig for my car

check the thread title


It depends on where you live but 19's are still supposed to be still somewhat comfy, just don't hit potholes and bend a rim, so if you live in a area with poor road conditions then I'd get 18's but other then that I'd go 19s

18" will definitely have better ride quality; you'll have more rubber under you to cushion bumps and such.
