Wheel size questions....

What are the pros and cons of going from 17/18 to 18/19 wheels? Looking at Z06 wheels and staying with the run flat tires in either C5 or C6 sizes.

not sure much will change, if you go with C6 size, the overall diameter of wheel and tire will only increase by a half inch or less from what I had calculated, so basically they're identical, so no changes in your speedo. The only thing is slightly wider tires. I'm in the same boat so I'm looking at the same option.

Higher weight wheels, less sidewall for tires, more expensive tires, less tire options, makes brakes look smaller. Only pro would be the look of the larger wheel.
