Hey, I just joined the forum, I just got a 2006 525i, I want to get some VMR v710s, I want to get 19s but I heard it might mess up the ride, 18s are much better for the car but would they look too small, Any Suggestions or Pic????

I have the same car. I'm thinking of getting 19" with no lip so that it will look bigger but have enough meat on the tires to manage potholes. Where do you live? It also depends on road conditions in your area.
