I live in the city and we all know the streets are all messed up out here. I was just wondering if that would be a wise desision?

I would and I personally plan to do it this upcoming summer. I got my ride a few months ago and it was right before the winter tires had to come on. It came with stock 16" summer tires and the ride was really smooth and comfy. I went from that to 18" for my winter deck and I can already feel the difference in that the ride isn't as comfy. But... I would take that any day as it looks so much better and 20" rims will just look amazing. So I would say, go for it.

Only thing I worry about with bigger rims is curb rash when parallel parking. I try to park as far away from the curb as possible.

I have 18" on her rite now and with the sport suspension, I feel everything on the road. I def want to throw some 20" Alpina B7 wheels on her but I know I'm going to have to be really careful driving around the city cause I'm gonna have to slap on some low pro's. These potholes out here are unforgiving......
