Because people sell them and get themselves factory 19s or aftermarket 20s!

I prefer the design of the 18s vs the 19s, but the 18s are skinny with 225/50 tires. The one plus is that you can rotate the wheels which reduces tire replacement costs.

If the non-s wheels were in 19, that would look SICK.

No it's the same height about, because of the thickness of the oem 18 tire size is similar to the tire thiness of the 19.

Hm... you mean the thickness of oem 18 tires + 18 rims is about the same as the oem 19 tires + 19 rims? which makes up for the 1inch diff?
