Default Need Help deciding, PLEASE!

Sorry guys, but I had to do this. I search for many hours on this information and I am still just as clue-less as I was when I started searching. The question is, should I go with 19" or 20" wheels on my Z?

The wheels here attached is the one that I have narrow it down to, now is just a matter of figuring out which size would be best. The rep that I talk to suggested that I go with 20" wheels. They weight about 60lbs with T1R Toyo's.

Please give me some constructive advice. Thanks....

I understand. However, what are some of the negative on going with 20"? Most people will say weight, but the diference in weight from 19" to 20" is only 4lbs

19" looks better than 18" imo. But 18" should be better for performance. 20" might look a little too big.

i think 19's are perfect. 18 if you really care about performance 19 ok for performance and looks awesome. 20 too big for z my personal opinion. Im running stock 18's till i can afford some 19" gts's

and then you have the difference in tire weight, and the difference in tire cost

Ride quality is main thing I had in mind. But I suspect handling will suffer with 20s.
