20's ride like crap, i didnt notice much handling difference between 20's and 17's. Low profile tyres are **** tho.
Unless your car is more show then go, go the 18's

I had 20's on my old BF XR6. I was surprised, they didn't ride as bad as people will have you believe. Having said that, I was still avoiding all pot holes because of the low profiles.
A set of 19's maybe, bit more comfort without the complete loss of handling |

While you are looking at wheels, have a hunt for some punctuation. That way, if you add some to your questions, our heads won't hurt trying to understand your posts.

Oh, and to add some value.
Nitrogen is an inert gas which is much more stable than Oxygen when used to inflate tyres. The positives are that the pressures are not affected as much by temperature change. Tyre life is extended slightly. For me, not great value for money.
