I'd like top trade my 19" tech arts with brand new Pirelli tires for a set of nice 18" HRE rims with tires in mint condition, no stock 18's please. Anyone??
I will consider other aftermarket brands.

My 19"S

I think it might be the wise choice for NYC roads, I'm not good at looking out for potholes, 18"s should take the hits better.

honestly, it won't make much of a difference, if a 19's gonna bend a low profile tire on an 18 will most likely do the same

Really, I was under the impression that the extra sidewall meant more protection from potholes.

Rave here in NYC we are much safer with 18's but I still have had many blowouts on the FDR even with 18's

I would say every 996 I had in the city went through tires once a year due to the poor roads here

True, but not really enough to really matter. I mean how much extra sidewall are you gonna have on your 18's? I still think if you find a pot hole that's gonna bend your 19's it's most likely gonna do some damage to 18's also. Look at all the guys rolling around on 19's/20's etc. w/o a problem. Plus techarts should be pretty strong wheels
