Re: Best size alloys for a daily driver?
I'm running 19's on coils and use everyday as a heating engineer
Yes its bumpy, yes you have to dodge pot holes but hey it looks good lol
18's would be a compromise but it depends on what wheels you choose.
18" lm wheels look good but some designs just don't suit the caddy in an 18

Had 18s daily
Went to 17s and yes it doesnt look as good but drives alot nicer and for me persoanlly makes a better impression
If I was say a valeter...18 or 19s all the way as its part of the image

Re: Best size alloys for a daily driver?
I am running 18's and I am slammed it is a bit bumpy but that is mainly the weight in the back and being on the deck. It was sound before I slammed it. I am a joiner so I carry lots of gear, chop saw, drills, router, nail guns, etc etc etc. Oh and the bass box!
