Pro's and Cons of 20" wheels on our Coupes?

Anyone who put 20" wheels on their Coupe still happy about it or regret it?
I am looking at 19" rims now but have seen coupes here with 20's and they look real good on the coupe (except for one I saw with spinners (yes, spinners ))...

Do you think it would be excessive to run 20's as long as they are relatively lightweight?

20's are perfectly fine to run. The pro's are obviously the way they make your car look, and how they look when your car is lowered. The cons are the weight of the rims, and possible rubbing. I'd say go for 20's, I've been nothing but happy, especially since I lowered my car.

20s are one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century.

Thanks for the replies... I found a nice set and the tire store says they weighed a set of stock 18's and then a set of these 505's 20's with tires mounted and there is only a 42 pound increase!
42 pounds is nothing, it's like 6.5 more gallons of gas.
