I say do the wheels first they make the biggest impact on the cars apperance.
20's are not practical? Huh! So I guess about 85% of us that have changed our wheels are not practical?
Well I will take my unpractical decission any day.

i say go with the wheels first... and 20's in SoCal ARE practical... We have nice roads in most areas and great weather.
If you get a good set of wheels and good tires, youmay not even feels a difference in the ride quality. I'm running on 20's and have been VERY happy with the look AND the ride quality.
