Default 19s vs 20s on ISF

I know this is an ongoing debate, but I wanted to get everyones opinions on 19s vs 20s for the ISF. I like the stock wheels, but I think they look a little small on the car. I think a lot of this is due to the dark color making them look smaller than they really are. What do you guys think?

Keep the stock rims and then get a set of 18's specifically meant for racing so that you can swap them out whenever you want.

I agree the stock wheels are the nicest looking factory wheels i have seen in years down to the color and style.....BUT I think Lexus dropped the ball and went too small with the tire-wheel width to me they're too narrow for such a wide bodied looking car.

I think for a performance oriented car, having 20"s from the factory is stupid. Yes, I know the R35 GTR has 20's. Not sure why, I think they just fit better 19's would've been way too small.

If it's for performance:keep the OEM, or get 19's, even 18's for track use

If its for strictly looks: 20's would be hot, as long as you know what you are sacrificing
