Default 18s all around or 19s.. Wheels

Will be buying new tires. So I figure it's a good time to buy new wheels. Do you prefer the 18 all around look. Or the 19s all around.

I think 18's are borderline too small in the back and I think 19's are borderline too large in the front... guess you can figure I have 18/19 ... just one of tons of opinions around here on this very "personal preference" item...

Sorry for the misconception. Those are "past" cars. I've bought a C6 Z06 since and now own a 99' Vert. I change cars OFTEN.
