need your advise guys (dealership ruined my rims)
sorry for the long story...
About two weeks ago, I took my coupe to Ray Catena for an oil change. I told the service rep NOT to wash the car and he said ok and even wrote it down. Two hours later, he comes to me and says that my car DID get washed and his sorry. Both of us went ouside to see the car and long and behold...my 19" DPEs are ruined (wheel paint ruined and rear wheel lip curved) I was very upset at first but they immediately took full responsiblity which calmed me down. The dealership is replacing all four wheels. Now the difference between 19" and 20" for all four wheels is about $324 (which I will put up)...should I go ahead and put 20s on my car? The service manager has no problem with my "upgrade"
Please keep in mind I live in NYC and have the 350Z Teins H-Techs. I asked friends and they said no and I will regret doing it. But seeing people on this forums with 20s makes me wish I have gotten 20s to begin with.
Any thoughts is appreciated

Glad that they are compensating you. But i'm not sure if 20's will be the right idea since you live in NYC, because of the potholes. If you are leaning towards 20's then make sure ur air pressure is nice and high each and every day, a tire under pressure leads to a higher chance of the lip bending on the rim just in case u hit a pot hole.

stick with the 19's you shouldnt even be asking knowing the roads around your area. dont ask for trouble , the added aggravation down the *cough* road just isnt worth it. and if you think the 19's are bad in the snow try the 20's with 1/2 inch of rubber between the rim and the road.
anyways good luck with your choice and glad to hear the dealer didnt give you any problems !

appreciate all the replies guys
I am still undecided ...does performance decrease going from 19" to 20"? If it does, then 19s if not 20s, since I still got my stock 18s
Also the dealership already mentioned that they want to keep my old 19s when my new ones come in to try to recover some of the cost, which makes sense but suck for me...it would have been nice to have extra set of wheels.
