19 all the way!! they just look so much better, really don't understand 18's unless your on the track.

I don't understand, would have thought the 19s would be better on the track for increased grip etc, while the better ride on 18s come into their own on bumpy b-roads etc.

I have 18s on mine and think they look pretty good - can't see how some can think they are 'so damn ugly'.... still, beauty/beholder blah blah

I just don't understand why people (other than tarts and estate agents) prefer 19s. Apart from negative effects on handling, they look too flash. I guess people who like 19s also like yellow cars and gold jewellery.

Perhaps I was an estate agent in a previous life and looking forward to being a tart in the next life? Deciding whether or not reincarnation exists seems less divided than deciding on 18" or 19" wheels.

Are you fishing? LOL. I'm not an estate agent, love Ferraris and Lambos in yellow but not BMWs and don't wear gold. I do wear a titanium Breitling which some people think is too bling but wouldn't buy a Casio, even if it keeps time better, because I don't like the image. Call me shallow but the M3 18s ruin the look of an otherwise good looking car. I guess people who like 18s also like beige cars and cardigans.

Touche! Nice one!

But beige and cardigans sounds like Honda country to me!

Seriously though, I think good taste and vigorous driving demand 18s!!
