I have 18s for track and 19s for street (will have them on in 2 weeks).

I think 19's look good from certain angles. HOWEVER, they look goofy from the side when you see how small the brakes are, and all that empty space in between. The little brakes make the wheels look like they don't really belong.

Thats interesting that 1/2" on each side of the rotor makes that much of a visual difference....I thought that too...until I looked at pics of my 18's and realized the brakes looked equally as small there as well....Its all psychological....by the way, until I painted mine yellow, I thought they were puny...they were silver so the calipers blended in woth the rotors....

heh.. i am in the same boat. i just cant make up my mind. than again, i am one of those people who takes extra two minutes in a drive through line

i am just slightly leaning more toward 19's since i will keep my existing 18's for the track/autox.
