I appreicate all the advice from everyone on this thread. I really value all of your opinions!

I didn't go with the 20's for the following reasons:
-I realized and found out that the overally diameter would be roughly 1" taller so my speedometer/odometer will be thrown off.
-The roads here on L.I. suck really bad and I would have that much less rubber; I still like comfort in my ride.
-I am use to the 19's as I know how they feel (felt) already from my previous setup.
-For my type of driving I feel that even 19's are pushing it; people don't necessarily race around in sedans with 20's on.
-The 20's are a little heavier.
-The styling wasn't as nice (IMHO) as the 19's I was offered.

The only 2 regrets I think I have of NOT going with the 20's is that I won't have that "baller" effect/look and that since the overall diameter is 1" more with the 20's my wheelwell gap of 3/4" all around would be non-existant effectively making my car's stance "look" meaner and more low.

I will post pics when I get them. However, I might not put them on right away until I bring my car (and get it back) from the bodyshop for the paint and install of my aero pieces.

Looks good for a previous, but GREAT to hear your car was dropped since. Need updates with new wheels!!
