Rim/Tires questions

Just got my 325 E92 AW/Black/Aluminium on Tuesday night and am really happy with it. Not planning to do a drop, so do you think it would it look better with 18" or 19" rims? Is there a significant difference in ride comfort between the two?

Also, if I go with staggered 8.5" front and 9.5" rears, what have you guys found to be the preferred offsets?

Finally, does anyone know of a shop that sells Hankook tires? Very strong performance/price ratio in Car & Driver review for the Ventus V12 Evo, but don't know if I can find in HK. Here's the article:

19 will look better no doubt, but it really depends if you really care about performance or not..the 19 will have a slower acceleration than 18...i cant comment on the ride comfort tho

and yes, those ventus v12 evo apparently are great, a lot of great feedback from the cayman owners in US, similiar grip and quieter than ps2!! i remember reading a magazine in HK saying that they are the dealer of Hankook, i will look around for you!
