get ready for a very harsh ride esp. in the baltimore or washington dc areas. if you want 19s, you have to go with strong ones that will give you some reassurance but they are $$$. I was thinking about 19s for a long time but dropped down to 18s.

even the roads to Bethesda from Olney (Conn/GA Ave.) suck. Potholes galore.

i am sticking with 18s since ride quality is very important to me. this is my daily driver after all. i'd also be very hurt if after I got expensive 19s, one of them is bent. but as long as you have the right tire size with proper amount of pressure, you should be good to go.

If your in DC then obviously you need to be more alert. Common sense.

can't beat the heft of a nice 19" cast wheel ;-)

but honestly, after paying so much $ for a nice set of wheels don't you think it diverts your attention of enjoying your ride from worrying about your ride quality and wheels all the time?

good set of wheels btw!
