WTB New Wheels Any recomendations?

I have about 2,000-3,000 to spend on new wheels. I want to get some 20'. Any recommendations?

What color is your car? I'll never recommend 20's on this car. Sooo, my recommendations would be a nice set of 19" Volks. Which ones would all depend on your personal taste.

Because there is less tire and more of a chance of damaging the wheel. Also, you pretty much HAVE to go with a tire that is larger than the OE overall tire diameter. Just my opinion.

My mistake. You CAN get tires that are very close to the same overall tire diameter. However, you'll have less to choose from and that means more $$$. But, if you can afford it, have at it.

How is 245/35/19 more tire than 245/35/20?

Actually 20" tires are more common and actually cheaper than 19" because 19" are an odd size.
