Tires are much better in dry & wet conditions than the stock Goodyears, didn't drive either tire in snow, but looks like I'll be doing it soon
Wheels balanced very well, very smooth ride and also a quiet tire, especially considering the lower profile sidewalls. The ride is a bit stiffer since there's not as much sidewall to absorb the bumps, but not at all objectionable, I actually prefer the ride now. The car really corners hard and can be pushed alot more than w/ the stock tires, not as good as the 18" wheels w/ the summer Potenzas, but very impressive for an all-season setup. If you need all-seasons I highly recommend them. The wheels are on closout so I'm not sure of their supply, but they go great w/ the Obsidian Black paint and everyone that's seen them really has good things to say. I got them shipped to the door for $1050 from tirerack.com best tire store on the planet

The wheels were $200 each but are on closeout for $129. They're cast wheels which don't cost as much to make as forged wheels. Most cast wheels weigh a bit more too. These are 5 spokes and the spokes aren't real wide so the wheels only weigh about 1.6 lbs more than stock. Also the brand is Sport Tuning which isn't one of the big brands in the wheel business. I've had quite a few wheels over the years, I even have some 22" Asantis from our 02 BMW 745 that cost about $1500 each (they came on the car, no way would I pay that crazy money for a wheel). These 20" wheels seem to be a pretty damn nice wheel, and like I mentioned they balanced perfectly (and didn't require much wheel weights), they have a nice machined silver w/ metallic black anthracite accents. The tires are the same exact diameter as the stock 17" Goodyears so no speedo error or Traction control issues.
The tires & wheels together were $1050 shipped to my door.

If you click on that link I gave you the blue links are for the tire & wheel info & prices.

Hello- I have- well had 19" Ti-Neolip rims on my g37x sedan- handled and rode nice. Traded it in for an fx35. The wifes g37coupe has 20" konig all alone- looks great, not as good as a ride. I'd say go with 20's- I do have mint 19's im tryn to unload tho.
