20"s all the way.
They look great on these cars and the ride dose not suffer one bit.
I have 20"s with 30 and 35 walls on them and have no problems at all.
As for performance.... what do you use your car for??? Everyday driver or are you going to spend more time at the track with it??? Unless you are tracking this car all the time a loss in performance will not be noticed with a bigger wheel driving around the city.

Warning.... if you have *****y roads around where you live with a lot of pot holes be aware b/c they will bend a wheel with ease.

18's for performance, you also get a better tire selection. You will feel a difference bewteen a heavy 20" setup and a light 18" setup

Agree, just switched from 20" back to 18". Much better ride as well, obviously.
