20's are overkill. Even 19's are a bit big unless you have a kit on your car. I say 18's are perfect.

Get whatever makes you happy. Rims are mostly all about aesthetics, and everyone has a different taste. Now on the technical side, larger wheels will give you less rubber to absorb the vibrations from the road, which will also put more stress on the suspension. As a general rule, 18" is the largest you should go on the ES. I personally like the look of 17 inch wheels, but it also depends on the rim itself.

17s are as large as I would go. You will need spacers also.

19 depending on what kind of rims, I always wanted to try 19's but haven't had the time. but the BEST SIZE I would recommend 17's or 18's

^sometimes it takes time for something to grow on me. your dish wheels look proper, that's why.
I still don't like ur pink lugnuts though

the best option for wheels is to have more than 1 set....lol, change, buy, sell, repeat. i got 3 sets so far, none of which are perfect.
