Question What is Better?

Which is faster around corners and better handling? 18 inch Rims or 19's for the evo.

18's but it actually depends on the width of the tire, 19's aren't a popular tire size for the evo

technically 19's, becasue of less sidewall flex, but in real situations, u want 18s, they seems to handle the same with street tires, now if you got racing slicks with bulked up sidewall, u want a small rim, less rotational mass, but 18s or 17s is what you should look at

17s are going to be the best for performance. 18s look really good. 19s are starting to get big but there are a couple evos on this site with good looking 19s. go with some lightweight 18s

I like the look of 18's on a lowered EVO. Just my 2 cents. But like i said b4, stock's are faster unless u can pick up a lighter 17" rim (MR wheels)
