With the stockers being forged rays (sport), it only magnified the difference.
This is 100% correct. The larger the size the greater rotational mass you will encounter. Unless you have 500+ HP there is absolutely no need to go 20. 19 are pushing it also but this is the perfect size between performance and looks. 370 has huge tire cavity so you need to fill it. Genearlly speaking when regarding 350-370z platform.

17-18 (pure performance)
19 (balanced between look and performance)
20+ (purely for aesthetic purposes as you will experience a degrade in performance)
