+1 for 20s with a dish. having a lip makes the face of the wheel look smaller. if the wheels have no lip, like the M6 style wheels, 19s would be just fine in my opinion.
+1... well said weezy

I dont think anyone here wants some to look at their car and say "yea that looks fine with those wheels on it"

They obviously dont look bad in 19's but if you can get the extra inch why not?

have you ever drove in new york?? lolol.. after you do youll know why..lol.. we need wheels made of super duper steel NOT to bend on horrible pavements and roads ruined from salt.. 20's can make a difference.. you need a really strong well made wheel that isnt going to bend on the slightest bump.. and that costs more money.. couple hundred bucks (if not more) can save someone alot of headaches and still looks just as awesome..

just my 10 cents.. if i lived in ca i would rock 20's in the winter as well as the summer.. fla too..

Very true! I am lucky that i live in a place with pretty nice roads. I also dont use the 20's when i go on road trips.

People who live where it doesnt snow are lucky!!! Never have to worry about changing their wheels out
