Here's my logic when I wanted to change the wheels away from stockies. If you're paying for a wheel upgrade, might as well chase the following:
- A lighter wheel
- A slightly wider wheel to fit a one size up in rubber
- An opportunity to get rid of RFT's
- A 1" upsize would be a more justified 'upgrade' (more visual appeal) - price difference is minimal
If you're removing RFT's and putting on normal rubber on 19's, the ride quality will be better even compared to 18's WITH RFT's. So 19's with normal tyres > stock setup in both looks and ride compliance.
If the roads you take are REALLY bad, or want something for the track, stick to 18's. Preferably something forged (or cheap second hand ones so you don't care about them getting damaged) with semi slicks.
