The larger the wheel typically the slower it will go since there will be more mass to turn. IMO 17's or 18's is a happy compromise. i have 18's on mine and even then they are pigs and slow me down. 20's just look plain dumb on a GP IMO.

18's are the best choice since 19" tires are very expensive and 20's are too big for the car.

17's or 18's look the best. I run 17's so that's what I voted. 19's look awesome too, but your gonna take it up the ass on tire prices.

IMO, 19's arent too big but still fill the space nicely. Tires can be expensive yes, unless you happen to have a a guy on the inside.
