18's aren't that bad as I thought they would be. As long as they're concave style. That makes them look bigger as opposed to dish style wheels. Wheels with a lip will make 18's look like 17's. Member inspire e60 has 18's.

What he said...
I put 18s on since I didn't want the firmer ride of 19s and didn't want to eat the cost of the OEM 18" tires. I wish I would have dumped the OEM RFTs (the Dunlops SUCK) and got traditional 19s. Probably would have been similar in ride quality. I like them better than stock, but I do agree the lips make them look smaller.
Live and Learn...
