I'm in Bangkok, Thailand. The street condition is similar to NYC. Are the 20" rims ok for NYC streets? Can you feel any difference between 19" and 20"?
Funny coincedence. I'm actually Thai, and live in NYC.
And yes, 20's are ok in NYC, but you have to be real careful. like any nice rims, just dont go travelling fast on bumps and study the roads before you go on it. Since there's always traffic in thailand, you can go slow and have everyone admire the rims.
As for feeling the difference from 19 to 20.. I really can't say, I went from 18 to 20. But I can tell you the compliments and looks you get for the 20's feels great.

and thanks for the advice. So, I would go for 20. How about the suspension? I plan to put on a set of Eibach Pro spring to lower it down a bit and keep the stock shocks. Would that be ok? BTW, what are you doing there in NYC?

Im running on eibach pro-kit with bilstein sport shocks, but for about 20k miles I was on eibach pro-kit with stock shocks. changed out the shocks when the stock ones were worn out and the ride started getting bouncy.
