Alright, I've just gotten new susoension - 2 inch lowered springs, all new bushes and pedders sports ride shocks. Now I'm in desperate need for new wheels and tyres, I'm either getting a set of 18's or 19's. Can anyone tell me is the difference in ride noticably different between the 2? I've git till tomorrow to decide.

Difference in ride between 18's and 19's is SFA. I've had 16", 17", 18" and now 19" on the AU, the main difference I noticed was between 17" and 18". Going up to 19's didnt really make any ride difference over the 18's that I could feel.

just get 19's they fill the car out perfectly anything smaller they look crap lets face it. i enjoy the ride on 19's more than 17's handling is so much better.

If your budget limited a good set of 18 inch tyres will far out perform cheap 19s.

its not a budget issue, i have the option of a set of chrome 18's or silver 18's or silver 19's. all around the same price. I wouldn't mind black though, but i think crome would be lost on my car

I'd love them ... but I can't due to other financial commitments. It's in the For Sale section.
