18" or 19" EVOS

I looking into getting some HP EVOS in hyper dark for my TA. I think the 19"s look awsome in every picture I see, but the tires are just so damn expensive. The 18"s don't have the same bling factor, but the tire options are much better. I plan on turning the car into a corner carver with some bigger sway bars, shocks and coil overs. Im guessing the 18"s would be better for my plans. What do you guys think I should do?

Also I plan on widening 2 of the 18x9's if I get them to 10"s so I can fit a 295/35 series tire out back. Here are a couple of pics that I like

19" wheels probably don't ride much different than the Flintstone mobile. Stick with the 18s and save a few bucks for other upgrades!

I got 19 here. I love them. Tires are 275/30. My car is only used once a week so I decided for a bit of a show off factor. Youre right though the damn tires cost more than the wheels!!

FLAWLS1T/A I like the stance on your car how much did your H & R springs lower it. Sweet ride BTW I just wish the black rims would show up better in pics.

19s don't ride any rougher than the 17s in my opinion. I did a few 2000+ mile road trips on my previous 19s, and it rode just fine. Corvettes now come with 19s from the factory, and they still ride nice too.

I'd go with 19s if you really want them to stand out. Here are my old ones: http://www.35thSS.com

It was my car, I sold it earlier this year. Yes, somebody uses it's photos on ebay without my consent. I've seen just about all my cars on ebay by now.
