19s are winning by a fair bit.

I started with 18, then moved to 19. I like the look of the 19s much better but I think the 18s handle better and are much more comfortable.

also on the fence about what to order? 18's I keep hearing handle/ride better than 19's...what I like about the 18's is the versatility, I can take these to the autox's and track DE's whereas the 19's I would be hesitant about since they looker nicer.
I plan on LB color so those of you who have LB what are your opinions on keeping 18's? |

i bet if the 19"s were dark grey and the 18's where the chromish look
the poll would be reversed meaning i think most people vote for the 19" purely because of the size, not the look i think the 19's look ricey in the chrome finish i like them in black (GTS) |

What about F1 or any hard core racing series?
F1 cars are the highest performing vehicles on earth and they have huge sidewalls!

Why dont we compare apples with apples, you are right that they are highest performing vehicles on earth, but they are not road cars. Lets at least look at real road cars, such as a Bugatti Veyron..does it have massive sidewalls? I think not..

Yes, look at my wheel setup....they are all black? Please explain to me what is BLING about an all black wheel? You think because I have a vert that I dont care about performance, to me the trade off of a couple hundred lbs in weight is worth being able to open the top and truely experience the joy of driving any ///M car. So leave the vert topic out of this, its a stupid, childish remark that many use to put down the vert.

FWIW, my rims weight about 22-23 lbs per wheel. Not all that heavy, now is it?
