20s are the best and have the most aggressive look.

I also have a A08 (Silver-Gray Metallic) 5er. Those Breyton's are on my short list of wheels I'm looking at. What I really like about them is that they are solid black. I'll pull the trigger on some wheels probably next spring. Other projects are more pressing to take care of first.

Body kit will come after the wheels. I've thought about 20" but I'm not sure. I live in South Florida, so the roads aren't too bad. 19" just seems to be the lesser evil of the two. I would expect to get great cornering still with the 19", but the 20" all black wheels would look GREAT!!. Anyone have any input on this? Performance difference between 19" and 20". Can't be huge.

I guess other than damage to the wheel, you have to be more careful with the shorter sidewalls, cause I heard you can loose air when you hit potholes, etc.

I have blown 4 19" tires in about 18 months so I am not sure I could recommend anything larger.
