Are OEM 166's (19") really like 20's?

I measured them out yesterday because a friend of mine was saying these wheels (shown as 19") actually measure out to 20" from end-to-end on the face. Is it true that visually they look like 20's even though they're 19's?

Id say they could appear as 20s since they dont have a lip. usually with wheels with a lip, it would make the wheels look smaller than they are.
