19's or 20's...ride quality, roads...weather
I'm deciding between 19 and 20 in rim/tire combo and would like experienced opinions. I have read almost every post on here on this subject.
Needs;
All season performance tires
Quality rims that won't bend under normal (sometimes hard :-) driving conditions
Able to handle road conditions in Midwest (US). May occassionally drive light snow.
Quality on-line rim retailer that knows offsets
Thanks in advance!

Forget online rim retailers, you need a quality local shop that will guarantee fitment or exchange if they rub.
Too many people buy rims online and end up with the wrong offsets/caliper clearance etc. Then they either need to sell them , or buy spacers which defeats the whole point of buying online for cost savings vs. getting the right rims in the first place Its worth paying $100-200 more at a local shop.
Whether you run 19s or 20s youll probably be using 35 series high performance tires , which arent good in the snow. Save your stock rims with some winter tires for that.
