I selected 19's and opted for whatever performance I got . Aesthetics was part of the process but not the main thing for me . The 20's offer the steet appeal but it's not as if the 19's are ignored when it comes to compliments . As for the ride --that's a tough decision as I am very accustomed to a tight suspension over the bumps . 20's would not be a problem at all in terms of ride for me.

What I did not do is look ahead to future wheel choices . That would be the case especially for the person who wants the looks of the car to be current . Style changes rapidly though so it is something to factor in I feel.

'Sup Ben, you da man! Thanks for hooking me up with these HRE's! Your suggestions on sizes, offsets were dead on!

I'll be in Miami during the last week of March. I'll try to stop by the shop!

Sorry for the highjack on the thread, but back on topic:
No regrets here at all for switching to 20's. The ride is slightly rougher, but that's also attributed to the coilovers and lowered height. The performance gains/losses from lowering the car and getting bigger wheels are negligible. Go for it, and give Ben at Wheelsboutique a call. Highly recommended!
