Depends on what you want.

Purely looks, then 20" best for the car.
Performance, the light weight 18".
Compromise, then 19".

20" are heavier, rougher ride, worse acceleration and handling.
18" are lighter, don't hurt performance, and cost less.

Well said. This thread can be closed now. No further posts needed. (Wishful thinking)

Unless you get some forged 19s like the 370z. Those are light and look so nice!
