Depends on what you will use the car for.

I Like 20s myself on the 370z with more aggressive fitment. I would do 19s if you were going to go lower.

If you have 19" stock then 20" (plus 1) ugrade for show and daily driving depending on where you live. (example: Atlanta roads not NYC roads)
I don't understand folks who have good stock 19" Rays wheels & buy aftermarket 19" wheels (heavier in most cases). 20" wheels will work if you know how to deal with them on a daily basis!
My two cents anyways!

It's all about aesthetics. Some people like the look of 19" wheels and think 20" is too big. With that being said, the Rays wheels are pretty strong and light to begin with. It'll hard to go lighter and wider than that without spending a bunch of pretty pennies (which again, some people can't do).

CCW offers plenty of lightweight, full forged single piece wheel options that compete with Rays engineering on the price point.

So does SSR's Type F, and Type C-RS. I am pretty sure the Type C is a little lighter than the Te37 as well.

People have so many options these days for quality wheels in the many different sizes. It's hard to say that the buck stops at 1 brand.
