what to get, 19's or 20's?

Im looking at the s-55's from Sevas and im having a hard time deciding between a set of 19's or 20's. roughly 200 more for the 20 wheels, but about 400 less for tires on the 20's.

Any suggestions? I have an 05 coupe standard. Its not lowered and i dont plan to do any brake mods. I might lower is very slightly, but deffinatly dont want to dropped to the ground.

thanks.

20's definitely but you will need a drop. 20's look lame with no drop!!

I am debating on this issue as well and I am glad you ask first Since I already have 19" stock on now so I probably will get 20"

Does nyone knows if getting 20" will slow my car down a bit? Or I am just being paranoid

Thanks

Tires for 19's seem so much more $$ than the 20's. Damn Infiniti for having 19"!!

well my stockers are 17's. But i did see some pics of 20's with no drop and i think i will be fine with a moderate 1in drop. They do look kinda stockish without a drop tho

thanks guys, helped alot . I will hopefully be ordering today or tomorrow, so i will post some pics when they get mounted. 20x10 rears seem pretty damn big, but the dealer says they fit perfect (for the rear).

You will notice some decrease in performance going to a 20" wheel. 19's, to me, are the perfect size and leave performance normal.

depends on the roads around you. i put a lot of miles and the roads here have a lot of construction so id hate riding on 20s. the ride is a little rougher with less rubber and they are easier to damage. 19s are a great mix of looks and performance.
