Although I have to admit that it looks very very nice with larger rims.  |
Many of us live in island side too including me. Talk about harsh road I don't think you got more harsher than where I drive to sometimes, construction site I am talking about.
The stock RFT is harsh enough, changing to regular tires would be somewhat the same. Go for 19" if you are worry. Larger wheels would sacrifice performance and you are right. But the stock wheels are so heavy, if you get light weight aftermarket wheels actually will improve your performance.
Have fun.
