New wheels installed. Thoughts?

I was considering a set from this brand. I think if you go 20" you need to lower to make it look right, so thinking 19's to split the difference.
thanks for the pics, how are they holding up in terms of quality?

Quality-wise, they are doing very well. No blemishes, permanent water spots or flaking of clear coat. I don't think I am the best person to ask about this though as I clean them fairly often and use a long soft brush to get the inside of them. I also avoid hitting any potholes, speed bumps, etc. (my wife thinks I'm insane). I have since removed the wheels for the winter and they will be off until it's spring time. Hope this helps your decision. Go with 20's!

if you have no plans on lowering ever. i reckon 19's will give you a bigger fender gap than 20's OR you'll have to get meaty tyres to compensate the gap which imo, doesnt look good.
ive got 20's on my sedan and same with Krizan^, it was my priority to lower it but now i wouldnt bother as i grew to love the stance.

I believe that 19" with 30 series tires will give you the same overall diameter as stock, but if you go to 20" you will either have to get razor thin tires, or you will have a larger diameter than original, and therefore the car will sit higher, and need to be lowered to look right. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, the 30 series tires on my CLK can be harsh, and I would not want to go thinner.
