    I've got 18's and wish I had 19's from a looks standpoint, but I'm not sure which beats which as far as handling/performance goes.

    Then again mine's an mk4.

    from a delearship haha.. thanks for everyone's opinions, i think i'm gonna go for the 18s to not sacrifice handling, which is the main reason why i bought the car
