More questions about wheels!
OK....I have picked the wheels I want, found a place that has them, and now I'm hung up on sizes 
I have 17/18 on the car now. What is the advantage or benefit from going to 18/19? Or even 19/20? Is there a handling improvement or is this purely for appearence?
And before any states the obvious....I'm getting new tires too!

Appearance.
Best overall performance and traction can be had in the 18" size.
The bigger wheels with less sidewall will give a much more responsive feel, but upgrading diameter beyond 18" is generally done solely for looks.
