RFTs will also improve the handling due to the stiffer sidewalls4) More prone to aqua-planing if wider rims+tyres are used, e.g 9.5jj or 10jj5) 17"+RFT vs 19"+non RFT would be more less the same ride comfort I would say, but with 19" car looks much nicer but slightly higher risk of damaging the rims as the tyres are thinner to protect them...but it's really not that bad...I have never used anything lower than 19" rims on all my current n previous rides...so far so good touchwood...just always need to keep a sharp eye on the road conditions and carry a tyre sealant kit (or a spare tyre kit) in the boot when travelling....my verdict, I would go for the 19" upgrade</blockquote>
