i think the 18's look better(probably in the minority on that one), have a better selection of tires in cheaper and better performing sizes and a better ride. i dont understand why everyone wants 35 profile rubberbands on their so-called luxury cars...what is luxurious about back pain?..lol

also i think 19s make the car slower because of the way the weight is distributed even though they are probably lighter since they are forged rays, but im not sure about that one

I choose 18's but not because I don't like the 19's more, it's because the 18's look great and I prefer to spend the money on getting a new front bumper and painting the lower sides and rear.

Obviously the forged 19's are higher quality, but it's not like the 18's are some crappy knockoff brand. Both look good so it's really just a matter of how much cash you have to throw around.

Lol I meant it as the OEM 19s being the cheap rims compare to volks being more expensive.

Therefore buying OEM 19s you can consider yourself cheaping out haha


Edit - ^ Because he said he didnt want to pick up the coupe 19s cause of the jew in him

^ I know I was just explaining to OKStateg35

Honestly the coupe 19s is the best bang for your buck, I just picked up a set of Volks but Im still considering keeping my RAYS as a spare set just in case I get bored of the Volks.

^^ LOL @ that. I love my coupe 19s and can't wait to put them back on once I know the snow is gone for good. IMO they are some of the best-looking wheels made and are a huge bargain for forged Rays.

Plus they look awesome on the roll:

Yea its tough to find a set with good tires thats not over 1k, I might as well keep them since I already bought the Volks and dont need the extra money right now.

Not sure how much snow or bad weather you get but i like having the 18's as my winter set and then the 19's for the summer. It gives the car a different look for about 5 months out of the year.

as far as tire prices, it really depends on what tire you are looking at.... the blizzaks for the 18" set are just as much as the kuhmo esta tires for the 19" set, ~$175 a tire
