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).

Id go with 20s... i run a thicker tire (255/35 front(20x8.5) and 285/30 in the rear(20x10) with a verrrry minor drop if at all with 350z springs, i read somewhere that its like a .5 drop on a coupe. ...heres some pics so u have an idea, sorry if the quality is bad, pics were taken with my cell phone....

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.
