Default Need opinions for next wheels.

I needed tires for a couple of months now and that it just rained here my car was very unstable on wet surfaces. Also one tire blew a 1 1/2" tear on the inside so I'm running on a $35 used tire.

I have 2 options that I'm seriously looking at:

These are 18" wheels.



Elbrus I02 Silver Machined w/Ice Coating

elbrus i02 wheels - Google Search






These are 20" wheels.



Sport Edition KV5 Silver Painted

sport edition kv5 - Google Search

I know some won't go over 18" because of ride comfort and everything else that can go wrong. I really want the KV5 but there's enough negative feedback I wont get them. I learned my lesson on lowering a daily driver.

Is a daily driver worth having 20" is my real question? I drive almost 35mi to and from work.

Also if anyone knows similar wheels please let me know.

I like the style of the 20 better but I don't know how the handling would be. IMO 20s look good on our cars.

I like the 18" Elbrus
Here's what they would both look like on your car:
