Your tyre will cost more!

The ride will deteriate, but that won't matter if you only want to look at your car!

18 inch for driving anything bigger for just looking at it!!

My X3 rides 10x times better with my current setup in comparison to the OEM 19" rims on Goodyear LS RFT's. The handling is much improved along with much improved tread wear in comparison to the OEM Goodyear tires which have a subpar rating. I also have retained enough sidewall height to effectively absorb most ruts and rough road surfaces without worry. I have no plans of going to MOAB or the Sahara, but for wet and sometimes flooded road surfaces we encounter in South Florida, I couldn't be happier
