18's or 19's?

[TPC303]

I am buying new rims and I can't decide what size I like. I am leaning toward 18's for comfort. Thanks

[S4evr]

i used 19's last summer and the ride was rough! not to mention the downgrade in performance. Definetly go with 18's

[eliTTe]

I would suggest 18's as well. however I am switching to 19's myself... because thats the only size of oem Gallardo wheels :o

[lucajS4]

18s all the way

[mholme]

18's all day long. Plus 1 is large enough for these cars. Plus, good tires get REAL pricey in 19in land..

I haven't seen a set of 19s (except maybe those gallardo wheels) that didn't look too big for our body style. Stick with the 18s they will ride better, fit the car better, and are cheaper. 9 out of 9 audiholics can't be wrong

[jblinga]

18's for sure

[AudiSportB5S4]

18s for sure... 19 I think is just too big for the B5... On the B6 they are OK but B5 doesn't look right, IMO.

19's = baller status

[stapo69]

19s for looks, 18s for handling and comfort. Although I run 19s and it doesn't bother me in the slightest, my Bentleys are sweet!

[Chknkatsu]

are you lowered?

[TPC303]

are you lowered?

Not yet, but I will be putting PSS9's with the rims. Unless I find something better for the same price.

[Kruat]

I'd say 18's as well, but I also run 19's. I couldn't pass up on the deal for the 19's, but I'll be going back to the stock 17's very shortly.

My gas mileage has sucked since I went to 19's, and I travel 50miles roundtrip everyday for work...it's getting spendy...lol

[mrbogangles]

18 all the way

[Daness373]

18's in most cases, but if your going for something like an LM Rep or something like that i would go 19's. Most 18's would be better IMO

[My2ndProject]

My thoughts are that you can get away with 19's as long as the wheel has a nice sized lip on it. If it is a full faced wheel stick with 18's or they look too big on the B5. This is just taking into account looks. Of course this my subjective opinion.

[laxman851]

Turn your car into a donk and get 26 inch rims, and paint your car with a skittle paint schemes.

Honestly I would suggest 18's especially if you want to lower it more than 1mm

[Siena]

18's.

[GetAudiHere]

Ha I would go with 18's as well but it looks like you already got your answer

[GQ//S4]

19's would be ridiculous on these things, 18's fill up the wheel well perfectly! If you were driving a b6/b7, then it would be different, because those cars are ridiculously fat.

[AudiTechS4]

19" - i've always thought my 19's filled the wheel well area nicely


Same suspension for both
19"

18"

[tmandarano]

18", its more conservative and 36% better for performance (yes i just made that statistic up but it sounds about right )
