18's for Track use.

19's for Road use.

I'll never go back to 18's for road use. I love my 19's for road use, and performance wise with the right tyres they are amazing.
Plus you shouldn't be driving on the road like you do on the track :stupid:

Good choice on the 19s :). I have them fitted to my Mk5 and I honestly think it handles good on them but it is a Jetta so I'm not sure if it would differ much from the Golf.  Although now I've gone a bit lower I can't corner hard because they rub :(

I bought 19s for my edition 30 and only lasted 2 months and went back to the original 18s, My golf R came with 19s and they only lasted 2 months until I found some nice 18s. They feel better, look better (once lowered) and tyres are a lot cheaper  :happy2:
