Anyone in Seattle area on an E92 with 19" wheels?

....I'm trying to decide whether to go with 19s on my upcoming E92, and could really use some real-world experience (third party!) on our roads with these tires.

Thanks,
-Alistair

We put 19s and non RFTs on our 328xi. Looks much better and the war dept. didn't notice any degredation in the ride (her rig).

I'm really looking for ride feedback (seattle's roads *suck*)

What tires have you both fitted?

Hey, can you post up pics of your car? I'd like to see what the 328xi looks like with 19's. Did you lower the car also?

I had 19s for a while before a pothole in Seattle got me.

Stupid potholes.

I'm going to 19s and I live in the seattle area. If you are driving downtown constantly, you'll need to be carefull, but even with 18s you have to be careful of potholes. Downtown can be a pain in the ass if you're in the wrong area. Kind of a trade off, but I do know that with non rfts, the ride can still be very good.
Every body from the seattle area, get on this thread! ::::>

I'll be on 19's here in the next week or so. I'll let you all know. I don't expect there to be a dramatic difference between the 18s W/RFTs VS the 19s without RFTs. The roads up here are pretty nice in most places, I've found a few areas downtown that leave me thinking WTF? But it's not like 19" wheels are a new idea. They are fairly common, and the roads really are not that bad.

But we'll see, I'll be more careful out there that's for sure.

Downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, and other areas of the city are aweful!! If I were living in Seattle (as opposed to the Eastside) there is no way I would have gotten the sport package.
