Just be sure to get a quality brand if you go 18 because you DO increase your chances of tweaking the rim as you go up in size. Volk, RacingHart or Enkei are my faves. I have Enkei RS6s and love the look. LanceG33 - 03 Black GT

I was thinking of buying some 19s, just wondering why do you have to be more carefull about em?

I was thinking of buying some 19s, just wondering why do you have to be more carefull about em? a couple reasons.. for one, the tire will necessarily be thinnner and you run a higher risk of denting the rim if you hit a pothole hard. second, since your tire won't hang over the side as much, you run a higher chance of curb rash
