18's or 19's on a C6 A6
I just picked up a 2006 A6 with stock 17's. I have a set of 18x8 Oettinger RE wheels from a B5 A4 that I'm considering swapping onto the car, but I'm considering selling them for 19's.
If you've got a C6 A6 and you're running aftermarket wheels, I'd like your opinion on whether 18's or 19's would be the way to go considering the wonderful roads we're subjected to.

Lacking meaningful replies, I can testify C5 allroad is best on 18"s.
Similar situations, I ran 17" GY Triple Treds, rode like a boat. 19" Yoko' Advan handled awesome but rode harshly in general (also bent 3 in 2 years), the 18" Bridgestone RE960 are the best. Handle well, ride nice, good traction in rain & snow & look good.

How many tires/wheels do you want to replace???
I've had my C6 since Sept.'05 (24k miles now).
I run 19's in the summer and replaced 3 tires(1 blow-out 2 bubbles) and have bent 2 rims.
I run 18's in the winter and replaced 4 tires(4 bubbles),and 3 bent rims.
I feel like putting 16's on, NYC/NJ roads SUCK.
