What do you want more of. Performance or Looks.
If you want more performance then looks ===> 19's
If you want more looks then performance ===> 20's
If you want the best of both. Get the 20's and switch to 18's when you want to have some fun.

Honestly bro, I was looking at my 20's today and I realized that they are too big for the car. I sat in front of the crib for like 20 min staring at the ride and the wheels look good but I think a 19' with a slight drop is the way to go.
I think I'm gonna slap on those Carlssons and drop my ish this weekend.

I bent my forged 20s SEVEN times in 4 months. Yep, 7 times on California roads. This was with extra load tires as recommended by MB. They looked great, but the ride was miserable and the maintenance was beyond belief as one of them was always at the shop.
At least 20" tires were cheap. I am back on stock 18s and enjoy the ride and piece of mind.

I went from 20" wheels to 19" wheels, and although the car looked so nice with the bigger wheels, the ride now is incredible, and it isn't like the Monolites look bad.

With the appropriate tires, I don't think 20s are too big, especially with lips. If 19s, get one without lips and the look/relative sizing-wise will be similar to 20s with lips.

A lot of people run a smaller series tire on their rears anyways.
That set up was popular a while back. IMO most cases only 2 doors can really pull it off though.
