i'll suggest what others have to me: if running 19s you should really consider->
forged wheels- especially as your roads are bad. they do not bend as easily as cast wheels. the sportecs are on the heavy side- 28lb IIRC. for silver ones. the new diamond cut finish is great looking and they are 26lb. a forged wheel will be 21- 24lb in 19". and remember that running 19's will slow your car down- but how much depends on your wheel/tire choice, motor- and how much you want performance from your car. if you are concerned with performance you should consider the 18s more IMO.
i like all the wheels posted- the Rs6 the least of them though.

Re: why did you get 18 instead of 19?
I live in Toronto and have heavy snow at winter. I use 18 four season tires all year around. 19 in winter just not realistic for me.
Center bend is the center of the wheels with bolt off center. I never see anything like that and the shop who fix my wheels told me the wheel must be solf to damage like that.

honestly sounds like you should go with 18s as----
well, from what you wrote, you have already bent rims?- and with 18s you are able to get a much taller sidewall on your tire= more cushion. go with a 245/40/18 and you'll have a pretty nice ride, better grip, and the most sidewall you can have in an 18. thats my 2 cents.
the ideas for rims is WAY too wide- it took me a LOOONG time to figure out what i wanted- i hope i like them when i pick them up on monday!
