This is coming frome one who used to be sitting on 20's...and I sold them. Why? Because they were so damn heavy, they completely slowed down acceleration and that feeling of getting thrown back in the seat during acceleration...and slowed down braking considerably. But they did improve handling....all in all....from some one with personal experience...I'd stay away from 20's.

I've got 20's on my ride, Volk GT-C, considered by many to be one of the lightest 20 around, but I must admit, I too noticed an decrease in power (pull) with the vehicle. You serioulsy can feel it! Braking has also been effected due to the larger mass. I had 19 Volks prior, and going from the stock 18's to the Volk 19's really didnt effect much, in fact the Volks weighed just about the same, but going from the 19's to the 20's really made a difference! Now on the flip side, you just can't beat the look of the 20 on the G! When people walk up and lean to the side to see how large the wheel is, you see them grin when they read 20". That's when they stand back and really admire the setup. So yes, it is all a matter of taste and usage. I recenty sold my 19's, but I'm in the market for another set. Just something to have on hand for when I'm feeling a little more spirited driving is in need....
