happy with your rim size?

Hey guys... I cant decide whether to go with 19's or 20's. So I was just wondering if I could get some input. Is there anyone on here who has 19's and wishes they went bigger? And anyone who went 20's and feels like they are too big and have problems with them? I appreciate any input. Thanks a lot!

I have a wdp 08 TL btw...

I think the 19" is the way to go and thats the way I am going in a month or so. 20s look too big from the pics i have seen unless you have a sick drop on coils. Then it just looks BALLIN' hah a

hey man. I got a 08 WDP tl too. I was wondering the same for a while till I was on here for a while and just saw that 19's just happen to look really good on majority of the rides on here. Dont get me wrong 20's look sick as well if you have the right set up..but to be safe and still get a sweet look the 19's are perfect. Now I finally figured out what size I want but dont know what rims to get. Im very picky and the ones I like are way out of my price range. lol good luck with your search man

I've had both. Lemme tell you... maybe it's some psychological thing, but once you get 'used' to the 19s they just become smaller and smaller. I think the 20s fill the wheel well pretty good. Cost of tires is something else though. I probably could have gotten out cheaper with tires made for 19's as they are 'more standard' (?). In all honesty, I would have kept my 19s, but all four wheels broke at the spoke so I had to send them back, so I went up to 20s. As for the ride? I can't feel the difference, but they're both noisier than stock wheels, that's for sure.

I guess another observation is that if you have dark color rim face (like i do) the 20's actually look smaller. And with the right rim design 19s can look hella big. Hope that helps.

Exactly what I felt having the 19's first. Then, later on I went to 20's and NEVER looked back. Are 19" better? Maybe as far as driving characteristics and you get a little more rubber under you, but DUBS look sick!! I don't think I've heard of anyone with 20s 'regretting' or 'wishing' they had gone to 19s... (could be wrong though), but I've heard quite a few people have 19s and say "damn, I wish I had some DUBS!"

Got 18's with A-Spec suspension. Nice combination. But still have a two finger or so gap and some body roll albeit with a relatively cushey ride. Wish I'd held out for Teins and 19's. Then I could dial in ride height and stuff. Oh well. It's all about compromise I guess.....

I have RJ inspyers 19's and most of my friends think they were 20's. I have seen my friends with 18's on their prelude with a lip on the rim and i thought they looked smaller. my point is, you could go with 19's and no lip and still fool most people in thinking they are 20's. silly as that may sound, 19's arent that bad i guess it all depends on the rim. hope that helps??

I'd say you have equal chance with both. I dented my 19s before..
