Advice needed - rim size for 2010 G37x non-sport

Here are some pictures of my ride:
https://www.myg37.com/forums/newbie-...another-g.html

I plan on converting these stock 17" to winter tires after burning them up next year. Then I'll just get a set of summer rims & tires, just don't know what size. I don't plan on lowering my ride at all due to the climate.

I have 3 choices:
18" - Too small, not much of an upgrade from 17" but the cheapest
19" - Ideal size but too expensive with limited rim/tire choice
20" - Too big. Might look odd without dropping the car. Ride quality suffers.

Which one would you go for? Oh by the way, I'm from a poor province, our roads really suck. You would not want to own a supercar here.

Thanks in advance guys.

18s look the best on stock height, i think. 19s are ok...but depending on which wheels, some might look goofy on stock height, especially the X.

on the coupe S. the S coupe 19s look ok with stock suspension on a sedan. like i said, some 19s look goofy with stock suspension. it depends on the style and offset. when you're on stock height, it looks funny when you have a low offset and the wheel sit too flush or even poke out.

if you're getting rims, lowering suspension is a must

I agree with da mayor. Anything above the stock size will look nice after lowering. Funny thing is that I put 20"s on my car and didn't drop it and I liked the look but after I saw someone else car lowered on 20"s I did it too.

I was thinking about getting rims from a coupe, but X can't handle the staggered setup.
