Guess my sarcasm didn't carry over ...but IMHO 19s or 20s leave too little sidewall to look right on our cars...

I think 'look' wise, 19's are about perfect in terms of filling up our gargantuan wheel well and not looking over the top. For a car that's driven around alot though, I went with 18's, I'm sure the coilovers won't help the smooth ride, and it's gotten noticeably stiffer than my 17's - not a huge difference but definately something I felt, I'm sure 18>19 would be a similar change.
