Default 2013 GT wheels dilema, 18's 19's 20's

I have a 2013 GT with 19's. The tire treads are about done and the rims have some wear from the previous owner, so I'm considering upgrading the rims now with the purchase of new tires.

Looking at chrome finishes only, but 19s seem rarer in the looks I like.

So might have to change to 18s or 20s. Don't do any track time or racing, just drive around for fun and mostly interested in looks.

Would you go 18s or 20s and why? 19s just don't seem like an option. Will there be any issues changing from 19s and going bigger or smaller or will this be a simple change out?

It's nuts how fast the stock Pzeros lose their tread!

Like you, I have 19s on both my Mustangs and buying tires can be tricky and 18 and 20s seam to be more plentiful and cheaper. If you don't care about the performance and just want looks then the 20s might work out better for you since they are flashier due to the larger size.

20s won't slow his car down if he's not trying to go fast. I'd venture to say that most Mustang buyers never mod their car at all and never take it to a track. For a daily driver 20s won't do anything negative to his driving experience other than making bumps a bit rougher.
