20" wheels too big for DD???
I'm in the market for new wheels, and need some opinions on size. Originally planned for 20", but question if that'll make a rough ride for a daily driver. I commute 60 miles daily, so I'm thinking about getting 19" wheels instead. Anyone have any feedback or experiences they can share regarding which size would be ideal?

I've seen a few with 20's in the picture thread, and they look pretty nice. I'm just afraid that with such a low profile tire, I might bend the rim if I have to do a sharp turn, or hit a bump on the highway. I'm looking at getting the 360 Forged concave mesh, a bit pricey, so I want to be certain before I spend the money on them.

20's with a drop will look very nice on the C.
Depends on that road where you live at, you can always go with 19's with sligihtly bigger tyres if you dont want to bend wheels.
With 20's is a rough ride also too.
In all, it's your money and go with what you want your C to stand out from all other car's.
Here is my C on 20" with very low sidewal & stretched tyres.

I think it depends on what kind of road conditions you drive on.
if its a good road condition and you are choosing a lip rim then 20s are good.
19s are more of a all around type of deal. but I would choose a 1pc wheel and try to find a wheel that have spokes that stretch all the way to the outer part of the wheel , this way it makes it look big.
