Given the 2 choices, another vote for the 313, they are more exotic imho...I have yet to see them live. They both have similar upfront looks but on the side angles, the 326 seem to be convexing(or concaving?) in a way that looks too strange for me. Hard to explain, they have a weird angle on the spokes.
I think that on this forum only that may be the case. To be honest a 19 is better for steering response, and cornering. Shorter side walls don't flex as easily under hard cornering. Plus the fact they allow bigger brakes. But you sacrifice every day ride quality.

I think when people in this forum say 18s are better is because they are for daily driving and cruising.

Coming from an e46 I can say hands down performance was better in every aspect with my 19's. I consider my z more of a cruiser than true sporty.
