18's or 19's?

I just got a 01 cl-s and am looking to get a set of wheels. Any opinion of size? Are 19's to big for a cl? Any pics w/ either 18 or 19's are appreciated. (Any opinion of Alba or Kaizer wheels?)

thanks

18's look clean without being too flashy. got 18 RH Evo C2's but I think ADR M sports or the RH C4's are the wat to go

But your ride quality will suffer and you'll probably increase the odds of bending one or more of your rims. It depends on what you're going for, you have to drive a bit differently with 19s, believe me. And by differently I mean slower and more carefully.

I have 19" x 7.5" with 235/35/19 50mm offset. rides great and i have the option of going 225/35/19 for that stretched tire look altho the ride will suffer a bit.

basically :

19 inch: If you want your car to be a sexy mutherfucker, with a bit harsher ride(but nothing extreme), and also if you live in a city with potholes i would stray away from 19's

18 inch: they look better then stock and can look almsot as good as 19's with a nice drop, also they are the prefferd size for peformance, it would not hinder your handling or launching and braking capabilties
