I like 20's better on our SL chassis, but I also feel that the SL really needs a 5-spoke design. So, if these are your ONLY options, I'd say the 19's. But, if you can get a 5 spoke variant, in 20" flavor, I prefer that.

Gotta go with a 5 spoke variant on these cars, regardless of size.

I like the stock 19s but 20s are always a plus just not that style.it takes away from the sleek look.the pics with 5 spokes do look real good.
