Deep Dish 18's or 19's
Since I'm now in the market for some new wheels, I was wondering if anyone could suggest any good 18 or 19 inch deep dish wheels for the 225QC. Also, are there any problems/concerns that I should know about first?

All depends on the roads you drive on and how much you want to spend..
If I didn't have to worry about bending a wheel.. Id get 19s, but I have to so if I were to get some wheels.. Id get an 18" wheel that is light and strong..

19's are really not a problem if they're forged ...
hell, on the way home tonight in the m3, i hit a crater at about 40 mph ... the kind of thing that would've destroyed an 18" cast rim ... no problem whatsoever, and it's not the first time. boston is notorious for bad roads, but honestly i'm thinking of going to 20's since the 19's have been cake ...

20's? Boston is obviously not NYC. You don't have to worry about the road swallowing
your rim, but your whole freaking car. When you have a 30"x30" hole which is 10" deep, then it's not the rim you have to worry about. ;-)

haha yeah it's not as bad as nyc but we have some "black holes" ...
they take a long time to appear though, and i drive the city often enough to know where they are ... but if you get caught in a black hole, you're screwed even on 15's :-/
