19's look fine...20's or more, overkill on a car this size. Kind of like a mullet...to much on the bottom end !!! But then again, some people like mullets, so each to their own.

Btw, Mort, I see your point of view also. To each his own I guess. These issues are what is keeping me from jumping onto a set of aftermarket wheels on my whip. I kinda like the sleeper look anyway.

I set the correct pressures and what a difference in the ride, low profile tires are extremely sensative to the correct tire pressure, so if you think your new car is riding
hard check them tire pressures!
As for the question of lowered springs compared to stock , they will ride a little harder but you can adjust that out if you buy adjustable struts.buy the ones ..with 4 or 5 settings of ride quality. KYB, or Takico are good brands!

I'm sorry to be off topic, what are your tire pressure setting if you don't mind?

Make sure you check it when its cold. The pressure will rise 4-5psi after driving on them so check 'em before you pull it out of the garage in the morning.
