Work Varianza T1S - Should I get 19" or 20"

Okay, so i've decided on the Varianza T1S rims (probably lightning silver as that matches my car's trim the best), but now am up in the air between 19" or 20" wheels.

Both wheels are going to fit, and i'll be rolling the fender in either case, but just not sure which way i should go.

I guess the arguments are show vs. performance, but do i really care about performance from a smaller wheel with lower inertial mass? Probably not.

Anyways, what are your thoughts ? ? ? ?

the 20s arent that much heavier compare to the 19" like 5 lbs more. Just take out the spare and u are good to run 20", lol.

seems like u answered your own question. If you don't care about performance, just go with 20s.

20" tire are cheaper than 19's.

But with 19's. It's a bit street friendly because you get to slap on thicker tires.

if you are truley concerned with performance, t1s are not that right wheel for you anyway. so with that being said, go 20s for cosmetics. like stated above, aggressive offsets and step lip!

Looks wise, definitely go 20's!

JibberJabber's is right, 19" tires will cost more then 20" tires. I got my T1S in 20's and I haven't regretted it one bit.

20's just step all over 19's as far as looks are concerned.... These rims are legit, I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed. +1 again on the tires, saving 100$ on every set of 4 adds up!

dude u make 416rwhp 19s to 20s should be ur last worry. Thats if u track ur g35 on N/a engine...

always 20s on g35 coupe, like everyone already knows with steplips and aggressive offsets.
No need for crazy stretched tires in ur case, Cause u wanna be able to put the power down with some tire. but like 10.5 rear with 275 should be fine. Or come to the darkside, and run 305s
