For fit and ride go with 18's, for looks go with 19's.

This really depends on personal preference on what you'll be doing with the car, the look you are going for, and how much you are looking to spend. Both 18's and 19's can work with the proper offsets and tire sizes.

I have 19's; sometimes i think they look too big. Other times i see 18's on people's rides and it doesnt look as aggressive and has too much tire.

If you are going for a real aggressive look then 19's. If you just want a different rim look but keep the overall look similar then 18's. If you are not lowered i'd definitely go 18's.

I would like to have 19s, but the roads out here are getting destroyed by the bad winter and I doubt local governments are going to spend a lot of money this spring repaving. If you live somewhere with pot hole free roads, I'd do 19s, otherwise 18s.

18" VMR V710's in Hyper Silver vs. 19" V701's in Hyper Silver. Both cars are lowered.
