18'' or 19'' help!!
im having a hard time deciding which to go with 18'' or 19'' .....?? I drive my car about 5,000 miles a year as it is not an everyday driven car....It's never seen rain , winter or any harsh weather....But i do want it to be practical enough to be driven everyday when it comes to my rim size....I would love 19''s but not if its gonna give me a headache...So far in mind i am planning for the model DTM wheel by Mayawheels...check them out at mayawheels.com
any suggestion would help thank you

Them Maya DTMs are really sweet.
Im sure you heard this before: Nothing beats the stock 16s / 17s for ride comfort....But....
If you looking a combo of sporty and some ride comfort, go with 18s. Tire sidewall height is usually 40 for the 18s.
If purely *bling bling*
is your intention....go 19s or 20s. Tire sidewall height is 35 / 30.
Of course....the other component to this whole issue on ride comfort is your suspension. Stock?
Btw....what kind of pricing were you quoted (wheels only)?

You said practical...
18 inch can be practical, improve looks AND performance and not ride too awful bad. I am not aware of a 19 inch fitment that I would call "practical" although they do look awesome.

i have changed my mind and am leaning towards the Axis Hagen in chrome, they only come in 19''......My car is not a daily driven car and is just driven for fun so i dont think thie 19's will be that bad...Some people on the forum dont seem to have any problems with 19 by 8 all around?
