Default b7 avant wheels question .. 18's or 19's??

i am in the 2007 b7 avant, non s-line, stock suspension, 17" wheels, fully loaded in quartz gray metallic ..
looking to get some wheels and am in need of some feedback ..
i LOVE the velocity motors rs4 replicas in gunmetal .. 18's or 19's?? i go to mammoth a few times a year and will get these - Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position all-season tires.. i will likely drop her a bit too with a not-too-aggressive spring set up (i am digging the cushy ride, and entertain a lot of clients in my car) .. recommendations ??
your thoughts and feedback is much appreciated.
peace,
bryan

Default yoda says: drop the car you must

The only think i would say is that the 19"s would loook generally better size they match the wheel well great. velocity has the best rep's out there and the CS is good too.
I would say tho that you will HAVE TO drop your call somewhat. my B7 came with the sport suspension and there still is a healthy gap there. stock suspension will look like a monster truck.

can you recommend a good susp set up that will drop her so that she looks great, but keep the luxury feel intact?
thanks yoda!

Default Venice and the L.A. area are decent but NOT great - you'd still need to be pretty careful...

Orange County and San Diego are amazing for roads, but as a fellow West Side Dweller, I'd advise caution if you frequently travel on roads you don't know really well...
