Default Pulling my hair out trying to decide, help!

I found the wheels that I want for my IS350:

But I for the life of me cannot decide if I want 20's or 19's.
If done right I think the 20's could look epic, but at the same time I'm not sure if they may look almost 2 big. But at times, when I look at pics of 19" here, I feel that they look just slightly to small. I know 20's r bad for gas millage and speed, but damn they can look good with the right drop and kit.

As you can see, I have been going back and forth like this for a week now. I think my wheel guy is going to charge me an a** hole tax for changing my mind on a daily basis. I need your opinion!

if you're not gonna run a kit get the 19's, if you're gonna put on a body kit then go with 20's

i'd go with the 19's. 20's are too big on our cars, but thats just my opinion. to each his own.

I was told to go with 19s but decided on 20s and haven’t regretted it at all.

19's similar to the tsw. To me looks just slightly to small (no offense to vehicle owner, car is sick).

I'd go with 19s since they're full faced wheels. 20" with full faced wheels look too big. If they had lip, 20s would be good.
