I had the 18 8.5 beyener matte black mesh and loved them. No vibrations, easy to balance and are lighter (29 pounds compared to stock 18s which are 32). I regretted not going to 19s however and after a year sold them to get a set of VMR 19 inch hyperblack ones. But the wheel was good quality.
One thing is if you buy 19s or 20s they get really heavy-upwards of 35-40 pounds for the 20s which is a lot of rotating mass and decrease performance.

I am keen on the 18 inch option.
Would you recommend a staggered set up?
and... would I have to lower the car in your opinion. (i ain't really keen to lower it)

bingo, unless you go forged wheels. You generally head up into high rotating mass with cast wheels

That is not true at all. Velocity makes a lot of lightweight cast wheels. The CSL ones I bought in 19 9.5 are 24 pounds a piece which is less than many BBS forged wheels. THey probably are not as bullet proof lon term though
I said usually dude,
and yea it is most cast wheels are heavy as hell
VMR and Rota are among the few that are not

Does everyone who upgrades to 18's or 19's lower their car?
