I HAVE A ABASE WITH 18" WHEELS. AM CONSIDERING 19" WHEELS. YOUR POINT OF VIEW PLEASE

I agree. Another thing to keep in mind is road condition where you live. If residing anywhere in the NE, would not recommend 21.

You might as well go up to 20" since that will be a more dramatic difference and you'll feel like the money spent was more worthwhile.

Make sure the tires are top tier so that you can achieve a handling improvement through the thinner sidewall.

I do like the ride a lot on 20s and while I would like to try 21s for the look, I appreciate the extra sidewall on the tire versus a sports car-like sidewall on the 21s.

I went from 18", to 19", to 20" and finally to 21". Also moved from a base to an S. I'm down in Florida, so the roads are pretty smooth. I haven't noticed any harshness between all the sizes and am happy with the 21's now. I think they fit the Macan very well. YMMV. I second the "use Porsche wheels comment"
