Why? Less likely to damage wheels on hard hole hits, better traction under hard acceleration (taller sidewall is more important for acceleration than tire width), roughly 11lbs less rotating mass which is a decent amount of weight to shed on wheels, and not only do I save $900 off the sticker price by not getting the 19" wheels, but I'll also save money on tire replacement on 18" tires vs. 19" tires.

Interesting comments ! Despite the fact that in Canada the extra cost for 19s is only $500 (compared to $900 in the US), I felt the 18s made more sense for the same reasons you did. In addition, the 18s will make for a better ride.
