Lowered Car + 19's in Chicago area - Bad Idea?

So I wanted to do one final adjustment of my coilovers before getting my alignment done and I needed to take a couple things into consideration.

I will be bringing this car to Chicago for 2012 and will be driving it in the city quite often, and from the past experience I had driving there, there are some CRAZY Potholes and stuff.

So my car is a tad bit lower then H&R Sport height right now and I was considering taking it down to H&R Race height on 19" Miro 111 wheels, but after thinking about how my driving conditions will change I'm starting to reconsider.

Where I live right now the roads are beautiful and I wouldn't even think twice about riding on cheaply built 20's because I've never seen potholes, but I know things will change.

Should I keep my drop conservative and keep my OEM 18" wheels to put on when I come to Chicago, or will driving on the 19's be okay if I am just careful and try to watchout for potholes and stuff.
