Vote plz.: Techart 18 Silver vs Techart 19 Silver

Already got the PSS9 on the car, just need to make sure that i won't regret which wheel is the right choice. Those people who have Techart 19's, how is the ride overall? Does 19" look better than the 18"? is 18" kind of lame now?

thanks for all the suggestions.

18's are Not lame. They allow you to use better (meaning grip) rubber. 19's certainly look way better IMO. I have 19 HRE's on my C4S and do not hink they are too harsh and I really like the look. (Note that I had teh 19" Techarts for a while also.) Although, If I was to do it over again (and I just might) I would go with an 18", but not the 18" Techart as I think there are better looking 18" wheels that are lighter, etc.

ps: wear your seatbelt

19's for looks, 18's for preformance...you decide what you'll be doing most.

I think you could get away with 19" in CA but I would go for the 18".
