New rims for my 2012 g37s

I am getting ready to start my first mods on my g. I am starting with brakes, rims and possibly tires. I drive hard on street but no track (yet). I have bought dba single piece slotted rotors all the way around; hawk HPS pads and Goodridge g-stop clear coated lines. I was going to get new 19" rims but am also considering 20" as we'll. what is the opinion of this group? Will 20" ruin my ride quality?
Also I am also reconsidering the rotors: now I am thinking about getting the new 2pc dba t3 on the front and the t3 single piece for the rear. Thoughts from the group?

Since you already bought rotors those should work well for occasional track days. Unless you can replace them w/out having to eat the return shipping I'd just stay the course.
As far as 20s, sure the ride will be firmer but not overly so, epsecially if you're already on coupe 19s, if you're on sedan 18s then yes, the change will be pronounced. Just be sure whatever wheels you end up w/ you verify fitment for the Akebonos, they can be a tough fit sometimes.
Here's F&R templates you can cut out to verify fitment

What's your budget on wheels? Nothing better than a custom set of forged wheels.
