Check with vendors like JW Motoring, Double D Mods, or House of Wheels and see what they offer. Manufacturers like CCW, Forgeline, etc., also offer a selection of styles in 20" diameter.
And I agree with WICKEDFRC - not only are the wheels more expensive, but the tires are as well. And while it is just my opinion, I think the staggered sizes of say 19/20 just look better on the car.
As to what a set of 20" wheels do to the ride, it really depends on the tire and the sidewall height. The lower the sidewall height, generally the rougher the ride. At least that has been my experience.
What does 20" wheels do to the ride, compared to the stock 17/18?
I never saw any decrease in ride quality, when I went to 19 x 20" wheels, from stock. None!
Several forum vendors also sell 20" wheels made specifically for C5, so all the offsets are correct (Speed Depot, for instance).
A 20" wheel and tire, is a little heavier than an 18" wheel/tire. That should not surprise anyone.
I love my set up (19 x 20), but think 19's all around is a very good option as well.
