Yeah but with a meaty sidewall you get more flex, roll & squish

, Unless it's all about the looks

I would be curious to know how 18s compare to 19s on a road course. My goals were to drop weight, maintain speedometer accuracy, and get this look.

I am very new to my 370 and my last car (e92 335i) saw a huge improvement switching to 18s.

Well it all depends on the tire you go with. When you had mentioned meaty sidewall, you are going to get less precise feel, whether you are going to go with 19" or 18". Stay lower profile & it will handle better when pushing the car in the twist & turns.

What wheels are those? They look classic.

They are the Varrstoen ES2 (aka 2.2.2) replica of the TE37. Great looking wheels and in my opinion they hug the calipers/rotors better in 18s than in 19s.

Thanks! Good to know. They are good looking wheels for sure.
