because with the hiphop evolution... everyone wants "dubs" so they're is a higher market for 20" wheels/tires therefore the price is less than that of 19's which are less widely used in the automotive industry.

19"s aren't as common as other sizes, it's not until recently 19"s have been produce on a large scale and there was a demand for them. Give it a few years and it will be as common as 20"s.

i'm also considering your old setup. the 5zigen did you have to do anything extra so the wheels would fit? Did you roll your fenders?

I didnt have to do anything to fit the 5zigens, i only had the wheels on for a couple days before i put on the Tein Basics so i rolled the fenders just because i knew i was going to have to eventually. But with the Z springs, you wont have a problem. However if you're not going to lower it anymore in the future, i would suggest going with a 245/35 275/35 setup instead of a 275/30 in the back just to fill up the fender gap. You would probably have to roll your fenders with a 275/35 in the back but it's well worth it looks wise and is a DIY thing, i rolled my fenders in my driveway in 20 minutes.

they are not as widely produced... supply/demand. When more people demand it they can make it at a cheaper cost to the consumer.

i might go with 20's if I can find a nice design but I'm a little worried about losing ride comfort.
