I've been having the same dilemma! In the end I went with the sunroof with the thought that alloys could be changed later.... And also 19" wheels (supposedly) have a harder ride.

Depends a lot on colour though - the main appeal for me of the sunroof is the black effect it has on the roof. If you have a dark colour though it's perhaps less appealing.

Is the black on the pan roof, the whole roof or just the part the sunroof is on?

It's about 60% of the roof.

I voted for the roof too. As I said in another thread, you can fit whatever wheels you want at a later date.

I love the roof but i've gone with wheels as i'm not that keen on the 18's (might look great in the flesh tho) as the 19's transform the look of the car more than the roof and if you like oem wheel them 19's will be hard to source and cost the earth if you do find any.

On UK roads it has to be the sunroof - you'll be wrecking the wheel or the tyre if you hit a pothole, although ACC in comfort mode would soften the blow when you hit one.

Wheels here   :smiley:..  I never use sunroofs anymore since aircon became standard and I just think of them as something to go wrong now (rattle, leak, wind noise, extra weight)  :sad:
