19s. Cheaper rims and tires, plus a little bit better ride quality. My ride took a noticeable hit on ride quality going to 19s...I can only imagine how 20's would have been.

Your rides look awesome, Wanderlei & No Onions!
You make me re-think my decision to go with 19s, which I thought is a good idea considering the bad Chi-town roads. Then again, I just love that 20" 'Deep Dish' look of your 111s, No Onions (... Deep Dish = Chicago? ) -- SICK !!!!
Just don't know quite yet if that's a good idea around here. How well do you get through potholes and the likes? Ever had any wheel break/bend due to bad road conditions?

My Ride: '05 545 Jet Black, Miro 111's, Painted Calipers, Slotted and Drilled Rotors, Ultimate Interior LED Kit, ACS Rear Spoilers (reps), HID 7k Fogs, Black Roundels and Badges, 20% Tint, Mtech V2 Angel Eyes, Ksport Coilovers, M5 Bumpers and Side Skits, ACS Front Lip (rep), and probably more on the way as you read this...

i haven't bent these (yet), but i did bend 2 of the stock wheels, so it's just a matter of time i'd imagine. right now i drive and avoid certain lanes on certain streets, avoid certain roads in certain areas, and drive like i'm drunk in some cases to weave away from potholes. has it taken away any ride comfort/quality? yes, but so did my coilovers.

p.s. glad you like the car. i spent too much money to get it looking this way, lol.

Nice look.

I agree completely! I recently got the 19's and love the way it looks but the ride was a bit harsher. I did get used to it but I most definitely wouldn't want the rougher ride of the 20's. 19's still have a relatively stock look to them but 20's will make the car look aftermarket....JMHO based on the ones I've seen. I like to keep a relatively stock look on my cars yet beef them up a little at the same time.
