Just went and looked at wheels for my 06'

And I have been planning on getting 19's or 20's, but the manager ( I buy all my wheels and tires from him) told me if I put 19's or 20's on it it'll ride like shi*. He said he'd go with the 18's but to me..they don't look as good. If you have 19's or 20's please repsond..let me know how your ride is in the car and any other information...

wouldn't it depend? i had 20" iForged and coilovers and it actually rode better (quiter and more comfortable on soft setting) than stock. put the stockers back on and they're heavy and harsh.

just my $0.02

i started with the stock 19's and now im on volk GT-7's in 19. I wouldnt go any other way. I dont like 20's, they are too big and heavy and i dont like 18's because they look too small. I say go 19's with a good drop and youll be set

I wont be dropping it due to living in Utah and that would just be a pain come winter time...you still think I should go with 19's?

I went with 19's from the stock 18's (that I use for winter rims). I think it rides fine actually better then the the 18's but I have winter runflats and the side wall is really hard on those so its a littel ruffer. I love my 19's.

I light drop of .75" to 1" will make it look more agressive and go with 19s ride is the same as stock if not better. I assume you have sedan do some searching about the drop and rims also.
Oh and quit listening to that dude he dont know jack
