If you're not tracking the car on these wheels, the difference between properly sized/matched 19's/20's isn't too much. The tiny difference might be worth it for you, in exchange for the much better look.

 

Thanks man...I guess everyone's opinion is going to be different. My main concern is to have the same/improved drivability as stock. I've read tons of entries on this message board regarding the differences between 19s and 20s...and after all of that, I'm not much closer to making a decision!

 

i thought the t1s were 2 piece cast wheels...i am pretty sure of that...

 

My advice, if you're considering 20"s and end up not getting them, you're going to regret it. Many members will tell you to stick with the 19"s for the best look/performance since it's a safe bet. However, depending on the design of the wheels and whether or not it has deep lips, your wheels will look even smaller. Yes your performance & mileage will suffer and depending on tire choice the ride may be rougher as well but the exchange maybe worth it to some. Contrary to belief, 20" tires are often cheaper than 19" tires. This maybe due to 20" tires that fit our cars are more readily available and used in on other vehicles.

For me, if roads in my area are decent, I'd opt for a 20" setup since looks > performance in a weighed down G.

 

04 sedan is just under 3400... not considered "weighed down" these days... many cars weigh more... and if it does weight more why add to the weight with heavy wheel/tires?... I'd advise not going heavier than OEM (preferable lighter for me)... of course if no aspect of performance is a concern then put whatever wheel looks best (to you).

 

Not always true.

 

You and rookie are probably right..I always thought they were forged/cast...guess not though..hehe

 

It's a quality wheel from a quality manufacturer. Build process is only part of what makes a great wheel.

 

I ended up going with 19x9.5 and 19x10.5...four weeks till they arrive. Thanks for all the inputs!

 

In what specs and finish?

 

19x9.5 +24 & 19x10.5 +17 in Spark Silver



Lips should look similar to this:

 

Nice, heres mine in diamond cut. Not much of a difference though

 

Very nice! I think the only difference is the Diamonds have the smooth face with a more metallic edge and Spark Silvers are the opposite....I think.

 

I called Work and they said cast center with forged barrel.
