Default Next Decision: Wheel Selection

Today, I bought a GT Silver Metallic S. I agonized for a few weeks over the GT Silver vs. Black color choice, now I must agonize over wheel selection. I have chosen the Techart wheel to replace my Sport wheels. My dilemma is this -

1. 19" or 20" - I don't want to sacrifice too much of my ride, so I'm leaning towards the 19" wheel.

2. Black or Silver? Does anyone have pictures of a GT Silver Metallic with either? I've seen plenty of Arctic Silver cars with Techart wheels, but no GT Silver cars.

3. Lastly, what company is the best source for Techart wheels? I've spoken with CEC, they don't seem too helpful.

I've seen some posts by guys with the 20's, and apparently, they make the ride much more harsh.

I posted some pics on that color silver here:
https://rennlist.com/forums/997-forum/221271-lowering-springs-on-dropped-997s-cab-with-20-inch-tech-arts.html

I was suprised by the ride. Even with lowering springs it really wasn't too harsh and I felt confident in turns. On the track I would asbolutely stick to 19s though. Drop me a line if you need some info on the Tech Arts. We seem to be doing a good few of them!

I'm 99% sure that I will be ordering 20" Techarts (black) to go on my GT Silver w/lowering springs.
