I just drive as normal across any road surface. Having had the 18's with RF's and 19's with Non RF's I notice the 19's offer the best ride. Not perfect but better.

I heard that many times so it's true! I wouldn't worry to much for the ride, but for the potholes! But like a friend of mine said: "Hey don't worry! If u drive the car in a crater it doesn't matter if the car is on 18's or 19s, for sure the rim is destoyed and maybe even the geometry".
I think it's a small percentege if u drive ur car in a big pothole and don't destroy the 18's but would have ruined the 19's! Just my opinion...
and to add smth my biggest fear is not to damage the geometry because where i live they didn't manage to fix the geometry on my previous cars to the way it was from fabric (perfect)!
A rim can be fixed (of course that also may not be as new (depends on the damage)) or it can be bought but the geometry here is hardly to get it as new after a huge shock!
