when it comes to looks, probably more important than 1 inch of rim size is picking a good rim design with a decent finish/color.... you can find 20's that make your car look like crap and 19's that turn heads and vice versa.

True, i will most likely go with 19s but 20s look good slammmmmmed.

I think i have a set in mind, with a different paint job then there normal wheels.

Remember that everyone's post on here is an opinion. I have 20's and my car is not 4x4.

True. What wheels do you have and what is your car dropped on?

I just fell in Love.................. Although, I'd be happier if this car was 1/4 of an inch higher in the back

Might look better to me if it was higher... the asymmetry between the wheel well and the wheel itself throws it off imo... ellipse inside a circle.

19's are a better ride..and protection for those expensive wheels you'll prob get...i've had my share of both and luv the way 20's look..they just fill the wheel fender a lot better so it even makes your car look lower. But if you're looking to get 19's, then u shud just buy mine...LOL...what color is your car btw? u have pix?
