18" RS4 reps vs 19"

[Jay B7]

I'm getting ready to make my purchase finally. At first, I was leaning towards the 19's but considering the ride comfort (new born on the way =) I may end up getting the 18's. Anyone have any input on the idea? Will the 18's look alright still? Anyone get 18's and regret it?

[Jay B7]

Also, if anyone has pics of 18's vs 19's to compare I'd appreciate it. Thanks AZ!

niceee is that your ride?

nice photoshopping! I think 18" looks good. Plus they are probably a little stronger. I think if you just get a lower profile tire, they will look great.

I think the 19's look better, but I went with 18's based on the always under construction roads I drive through.

[Jay B7]

yeah, i'm pretty sure i'm going to get 18's now. btw, your cars look pretty sick! my car goes to the body shop on the 30th while i go on vacation. I come back on June 10th, then it's off to the wheel shop for suspension and wheels. =P

very tough decision as i'm having trouble deciding as well....better comfort vs. better look/style!!??

I was stuck between 18s and 19s and decided that 18s looked to small and that I would deal with any additional harshness the 19s have over 18s. I have no problem. I have more issue with ride height from my drop than I do my wheels. Overall, after the reactions I get, I'm glad I went 19s.

18's look to small. IMO

I actully think the 18s give a more balance look on the carm since the B7 has such a fat body. Im trying to decide the same thign right now, but dont want to regret goign with 18s. I just see a lot of 19" RS4 reps with a tiny side wall that throws the aesthetic of the car off a bit.

The 2 posted images of 18s look really good. Nice and clean.

By the way, anyone have pics of 18s on the stock sport suspension?

Here's mine with 18" reps and stock sport suspension.

I think those 18s look perfect on that car. Are you The RS4 wheel always looks a little larger too since the spokes connect so close to the lip. I definitely dig the 19s on some of the lowered B7s Ive seen, but with the stock sport suspension, these balance the car out nicely.

Is your signature up to date? Are you still running 5 and 10mm spacers on those VMR reps?

Thanks for posting the images.

That is mine. I chose 8x18 ET45 UltraLeggera along with Semislicks Proxes R888 for performance, but if I wanted looks I'd go for 19s but NOT NOT NOT heavy ones...They are a big handicap...

[sakimano]

excellent. 18 looks great here. I'm going to use these as my summers and use the stock wheels for winters. I'm happy these look so good at 18, because now my summer tires from my stock 18s can be used on these. I think...

235-40 18 tires on 18x8.5" VMR reps?
