18's or 19's...Please help???

I've decided on the wheel, that I am going with...Now with the size...
I like the looks of 19's but not sure on the ride. I drive fast and dont pay a lot of attention to potholes and bumps.
My question is should I get 18 or 19's...

so,

Doesn't matter.. if you don't be careful, sooner or later you wheels will get damanged.

If you don't race, get the 19"s. But tires are more expensive!

I personally like 18"s.

btw, are you getting your Axis Muse wheels?

I’m going with 18’s because I drive the car every day and heard 19’s ride too hard and damage too easily.
Not to mention tire selections in 19” are fewer and more $$$$$.
