They are likely to bend, but I don't think they bend any more than any other wheel. I would not fear the prets bending too much. And this also depends largely on tire pressure You're running. I don't know if you're running spacers with your Pretorias but I think that also can help with ride comfort as well. That money could be so much better spent on something else.like a wavetrac diff, or coilovers.Īlso both of theses wheels are going to look like a 17 inch wheel because of the lip.so I'm not a fan of either. But I don't see a night and day difference coming That's worth the roughly $2,000 you are about to spend to make it happen. Your weight savings with a flow formed 18 over a flow formed in 19 will improve things. I actually saw an increase in comfort going from my 18-in Austin to the 19-in Pretoria.
You're not going to see a substantial difference in ride comfort going from a 19 to 18 inch wheel. I say keep your Pretorias and maybe have them powder coated black or another color. Post titles must be specific and descriptive.
