18's or 19's???????????????????
In march I'll be in the market for a set of rims. I like the look and price of alot of 18's but there's something about how an sc looks lowered on a set of 19's. May I have some positive feedback on this? I'm torn between both sizes.

Offset and width should be your main concern, and i just got rid of a set of 19's because the tires were burnt fast and cost around 30$ more a piece then 18's. 19's are great and look perfect but 18's are a nicer ride and a cheaper tire. plus sick wheels are just sice no matter if there 19 or 18.
I switched from 19's to 18's to get better tire options to handle power. But there are 19" R888 tires and MT is supposedly coming out with a 305/35/19 DR that will be more than enough for my power goals. So looks like I'll be jumping back on 19's eventually lol.
i say get both 
but overall depends on what kind of wheel you are getting..a full face 18 will look nice..however if you are going something with a nice size lip then id do a 18f 19r or 19s all around..id prefer a staggered set up since usually with a bigger lip and with how our fender wells are the rear usually looks noticeably smaller..so id stagger both ways... if i had the money to do so of course
