That being said, I guess 20s are strictly for form. It seems like I slip a lot more in a canyon carving driving scenario even though I have a lot more feel of the road. My ride is a little bit more stable when I'm cruising in the highways, but thats about it.

What wheel setup would be perfect for handling/grip in general?

That being said, I'm pretty tempted to trade my wheels in for Nismo 19s.
Ask the track guys in the forum with 18" grippers. They'll swear by it. There are 20's that should hold up well. Porsche has 20's in their line up.
