Does anyone else think that 19 inch wheels
actually look more in proportion with the car than 18 inchers do? I'm gonna get summer wheel/tires this spring and just assumed I'd get 18 inchers, but the car seems to want 19 inchers. What do y'all think?

So, my 245/50/17s don't protect as well as stock 225/55/17s? =)
Kidding... I know what you meant. =)
I assume that myroad doesn't plan to go offroad, tow, etc... with those 19s. I'd dent rims driving to my house with 19s, given the earthquake damaged streets!

the only offroading I do is on my Cannondale Jekyll Lefty
Not in the AR. The 19 inchers just look right to me. Are you a cycling freak. I am. 2 bikes:
the Jekyll 800 ti lefty with XT components, and
TREK 5500 all carbon road bike with Dura Ace/Rolf set up. Talk to me

haha - Kona Stinky and Brooklyn Park here...
...plus an Azonic DS1 SS that I'm building up.
BTW, I just learned how to lace wheels using Phil Wood SS hubs to Sun Rhino Lites. Too bad Phil didn't make Audi rims - they're that nice.

19 inch rims with 245/40 tires have 3.9 inch sidewalls
stock is 4.9. does one inch really make that big a difference? S03's have a real nice rim protector. My 9-5 Aero had a thinner sidewall (225/45/17) and I never dented a rim. What think you?
