Rather than revive this year-old thread, I wanted to ask for opinions/experiences of 19” vs 20”, now that folks have another year of driving under their (steel) belts.
My situation is I’m taking delivery of an off the lot RWD car with 20” Turbo Aero wheels. I would’ve preferred 19”‘; while I agree the 20”‘a look better, I’d be ok with the look of the 19”s to gain the higher sidewall.
I live out in the county in PA, where the State Bird, Flower & Animal are the Pothole. So I think the smaller wheels will be less likely to be seriously damaged. Plus the rubber will be cheaper & from my previous experience with EVs the rears especially have a limited lifetime.
I have an ad in the Marketplace right now for a sale/trade on my wheels. Another alternative could be to spring for the Tire & Wheel Protection when I take delivery vs going through the work of selling and swapping/buying new wheels/tires. Doesn’t help with the recurring cost of the rubber though. Would be sticking with all-season tires.
