The ride isn't a factor for me anyway.

I'd rather have the correct spec 19's on my car than the wrong spec 18's.

Don't forget...19's are becoming more and more common place straight from the production line nowadays.

I doubt VW would use em on the Golf R if there were any problems in ride quality or handling.  


I can drive with 3passengers on my 19's and not have any rubbing issues what so ever...and that's with the H&R lowering springs on too  :happy2:

The only image I have of mine at the moment, I've only had the car a week. Anthracite Monza II's.

Yeah but manufacturers are designing cars to suit bigger wheels - just look at the Astra GTC, it can take 20 inch wheels no probs!

Just don't want to get 19s then be driven crazy with the crashing and banging in the cabin. I do lots of driving so don't want to completely ruin ride comfort lol.

Apologies for quality, best i can offer at the mo.
