For me, on a GS, 20's are too dub like stated earlier.

19's are more connoisseur imo

Thanks for the feedback guys...Unfortunately I need those PIAAs for another project. I really miss that look though. Besides i had those brand new tires for the 20s sitting in my garage for years without a use for them. My buddy at the wheel shop hooked up those rims for less than a grand...They look good enough for me. Those Piaa's will look better on the NSX anyways =).

I might paint these TIS wheels white w/ chrome spokes soon, they might grow on me better. They are heavy SOBs for sure...I've noticed they stay more planted than those 19's under hard braking. Maybe its the tires...I dunno.

1 9 for sure. 19's or 20's as long as the look of the rims flow well with the car then it's all to the G.

I ran both 19" and 20" sets.

I prefer 19s....reason? Car stance looks better with 19s...imo.

In terms of size, 19s are a better fitment.
