according to the info on this board the 18 inch combo is 3-4 lbs less per corner.

18 vs. 19 weight
Guess I missed that. That's from actual weighing on the same scale?

I think I'll be going with the 18's as there are more track tires available, they are lighter, and you save $1200. I'll save up and get some aftermarket 19's with maybe some nice lowering springs that work with EDC (hopefully other people can be the guinea pigs to review)

Personally the 19's look like you should be "rollin' gangsta style in da escalade"
I think the 18's looks track worthy. Look at Indy cars. They aren't rolling wheels that big. There is a reason. It seems to be totally personal preference with the 19's winning the vote 70:30 over 18's. Pick what YOU like. Not what everyone says. |

18s for me... I like the way they look on my AW.... added benefit is that it hides the brake dust dirtiness a little bit...

Prefer 18" because of practicality, cost and better ride, especially if you live in northeast where roads are horrendous. Looks wise I could go both, highly depended on color.
19"=White/Silver 18"=Black/Grays/Interlagos/Red Performance between the two are negligible. |

I'm not really fond of the current 19's. I prefer the E46 ///M3's 19" alloys (..especially the BBS Comp.Pkg wheels). Conversely, I prefer the E9X 18" alloys to the E46's 18" alloys. I'll stick w/ the 18's this time around.

The 18s look so good in person, pictures dont look good at all!! Saw them today at my dealer and was very glad I ordered them. The 19s remind me of the rims on the old m3

i ordered 19's.
and the truth is out - the 19 inch tire/wheel combo weighs less than the 18's.

I am ordering 18" not only because they are cheaper, but because they look better in my opinion, giving off a kind of street race vibe and they will behave better on the car in terms of handling balance, steering feel and ride quality.

handling encompasses a lot of factors besides performance.

18s are perfect performance-wise, economy-wise and comfort-wise.
Aesthetically, being dark, they suit only light colors (aw, ss etc) I wish they were offered also in shiny alu or chrome coating, to match darker body colors, too. |
