I'm sorry, I know this has been covered a thousand times but I am torn betweew 18"s and 19"s and need some feedback from those who already have 19"s. I prefer the look of the 19s, but I am concerned about losing ride quality. The 09 SEs are comming stock with 18" so I don't think going up to 19"s would be a HUGE difference. How does everyone like the ride w/ 19"s?

Ride quality I think is the same between them but cornering makes a difference and tire prices.

Money is not so much the issue as the ride. I would rather not feel every rock in the road, but from my experience this is not a factor until you get in the 20"s and above. Oh..... and will have the Eiboch pro-kit. This being my daily driver I would sacrifice 19"s for 18"s if there is a big ride difference.Like I said though....those 19s look GOOOOOD.

I too am more than happy with my 19's. The profile of the tire will have a lot to do with the ride as well. I went with a 245/40/19. The ride just feels sportier, not the least bit rough.
