If you just want to cruise and make the car look right gets 20s.
If you want to be speeding most of the time get 18s.
Remember the smaller the rim, the faster the acceleration but slower at high speeds.
The larger the rim, the more acceleration suffers but goes faster in higher speeds and have actually higher topspeed.

You can have 17's and still have the same overall diameter as a set of 19's, if your tires are properly sized.
There's a reason why a lot of Supra/SC guys run a 15" drag package while still maintaining similar overall diameters.

Actually that has to do with the tire size not the wheel size. Wheel size; however, could effect rotating mass that could influence these characteristics.

yes it depends more on the size of the tires but i mean if you have a set of 20's your not going to have big tires----yes you could put big tires on 17's but you get his point im sure.
