Help Me Decide Stern ST-1 18 or 19
Not to start a big debate but I am really torn on choosing between 18's and 19's.

After going through the wheel thread about 5 times in the last 5 days it seems that the most popular wheel size is 19x8.5. I plan on keeping my stock rims fro winter driving - but living in the Chicago burbs has me leaning towards 18's.

As far as droping the car in the future I would only consider an A spec suspension.

Need advice on looks, performance and durability.

Thanks,
AKFLY

I guess I should have asked the durability of 19" rims vs. 18" rims.

Not sure how many people have damaged 19" wheels.
