If your not lowering then 19s for sure. Also stick to a fairly oe looking wheel, at stock height most aftermarket wheels just look a tad silly. All imo of course.

On the sedans, I prefer 18s w/ lower stance and meaty tires, but if u don't plan on lowering, I'd stick w/ 19s.

I would make the decision based on how the roads are around where you live / commute. I chose 19's for aesthetic reasons and I ended up replacing 2 this past spring due to potholes. I bent one wheel beyond repair and cracked another that couldn't be repaired either. If I had 18's with some thicker sidewalls would they have still been damaged? It's hard to tell, but I probably wouldn't have ended up buying 2 new wheels. ps - don't move to Pennsylvania.
