Any cons to upsizing from 17" to 19" rims on 9th gen?
I have a 2014 Accord Coupe LX-S with stock 17" rims. I'm thinking of upgrading to factory 19" rims. Has anyone done this and was it worth it or do you regret it and why?
I need new tires so I figure it's a good time to do it. And if I don't upgrade the rims, anyone have recommendations on tires that make for a good look?

The "cons" are numerous and well documented:
- Rougher ride
- Slower acceleration to any given speed
- Longer braking distances from any give speed
- Accelerated brake wear
- Slower reaction time following steering wheel inputs
- And then there is the matter of cost...
