what size
Okay I lowered my car and now I am going to get rims after the season and now I am wondering what size of rims should I run. I love 19's but I do not know if it will look good and I also like 18's and they look clean. I want to look and at the same time keep some of the performance so should I go with 19's or 18's. Give me some input and let me know what all of you think.
Thanks

25s? 
seriously either would be fine, i have 19s and lots of peeps on here have 18s just try one out and see what you think. if all else fails sell them and get something else!
good luck!

You probably won't even notice the difference between 18s and 19s with the power you put down..

I notice the difference whenever I go out onto some really bad roads, and trust me, here in Dallas we've got some really bad roads. That's why I never go any lower than 40 series tires. I've already bent some wheels and got the center caps knocked out on those bumpy roads. Some of my friends have 19's with 35 series tires and they've already bent their wheels too. Brand new Volks TE37's on the very first day out on the road....OUCH...

Honestly, I think perfomance aside..you really have to think about how the roads are where you live. Even if the roads are good where you live..with 19's on there is no IF involved in bending a rim..just a WHEN
