    Gents, I'm in NJ, wondering whether to get the 19 or 20 inch tires. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Get the 20s, second most important option after magneride.

    Although I have the 20s, when I autocrossed, I used a smaller tire which enabled the car to go turn much more precise. why is everyone saying 20s, is it just the looks or for driving ?

    Looks. I have owned 2 Astons, one with 19" wheels and the last one with 20s. This difference is very big.

    I believe 20" rims are fitted with lower profile tyres, so overall diameter is about the same. Otherwise it would affect the gearing - the 19"s would accelerate faster but with lower top end?

    The tire diameters are the same, less sidewall=sharper looks and maybe a bit better handling, wider sidewall=smoother ride.
