Like I said before ... i bought my car b/c of the power it had, but once the wheel option came, it was either "show" or "go." I chose "show" because I love the wheels. Now if you are getting 20's once again I'll go out on a limb and say you aren't that interested in "go" unless you are livin' large. Those wheels are going to be expensive, but any lightweight "race" wheel in that size (if it's even made - I've never seen any) is going to cost a small fortune!
Max'n is an exception ... he's got a super charger with his 19's but for those of us without forced induction ... we aren't going to pickin' on m5's or porches (at least I'm not ... ego is to breakable) and expect to win with those large wheels.
My 2 cents, if you are looking for speed get some lightweight 17's. If you are looking for a "show" car look and make people break their necks looking at you as you drive by ... get the 19+ wheels.
But that's just my opinion.

I agree to everything!
Just wish I had that blower
