Larger unsprung weight, harsher ride, higher risk of bending a rim on bad roads...
are some of the cons that come to mind.
Pros; possibly better 'turn in' on bends, more feel on the road, looks depending on rim style are a few.

Bad Roads DEFINATE Con...
Yeah, bent rims, new tires...well, on wheels that big, rubberbands...lol
Pros is better handling. There's practically NO sidewall for the tire...
But that's bad for my previous statement...the tire protects the rim from potholes, cracks and stuff like that. there's a certain amount of give that the tire provides and it's essentially not there at all with rims that big...
just my $.02...

19s really dont ride any harsher than 18s...Ive had both..
and the difference is barely noticable. What is noticable is the acceleration....The generally heavier weight and larger diameter is slightly noticable when taking acceleration into account.
