lower than your grannies nipples...... now
Finally got the lowering links in................now here comes the main questions.
For those of you with lowered vehicles would you recommend a set of:
20" rims & tires or 19" rims and tires?
I have put two of the rims that i think will look like pure sex..........let me know what you all think.
and whats the real differences in performance loss between the two sizes if it actually makes that big of a difference as well as the comfort of the ride?
put some pictures up for my fellow beast owners to see.

do not own a beast, to be brutally honest stocks look better than both those options. 
actually, the 1st option would work if you don't get that finish. i think a anthracite or flat gunmetal with polished/chrome lip would look pretty good

+1, I myself, don't like those rims at all.. If you MUST get one of the two, at least get the second of the two. Otherwise, leave the SL55 wheels, they look stunning on your car with its color.
In regard to your other questions, ride comfort does decline with bigger wheels, but it really comes down to what tire size IMO. Performance wise, bigger tires = higher final drive ratio, so a LITTLE less accel, more speed kind of thing.
