Rim Size?

I have ordered the OEM kit for my TL and I was wondering what size rim will look the best with the kit, 18 or 19? I’m not going to drop my car at all because of the road conditions around my area. I want the rims to look nice on the car but not have a good amount of wheel space b/w the finder and the tire, or make it look like a roller skate. Anyone have any ideas or pics on what it will look like? Thanks

I prefer 18" rims. I think they show the right amount of tire, where 19" rims, IMO, look like the wheel well is filled with nothing but rim. Some people like that, though.

19s look awesome (depending on rim style) but 18s are much more practical. You need some sidewall on the tire to take the force of a pothole, otherwise you'll bend your rim -- that's not cool.

19's look tight. But like you said your area wouldn't permit you to go that route. You can get some decent looking 18's and with the right drop you ride would look tight. Im sure you would like the ride quality of the 18's rather than the 19's for sure.

Would say neither without a drop. Check this for pics of some dooope tl's. http://imageevent.com/teaelle/acuraz...ersgallery?n=0, I think its actually a sticky now. Also agreed on 18's are more practical.
