You should look at forged wheels if you are going to do 20's. Otherwise you'll be replacing them soon.

Cheap rims bend easily. I have 19's, they are low pressure cast, and I have a few bends. With 20's you have even less tire to protect the rim.

He's got a point. Why not do 19s. 20s might be a stiff ride if you don't have proper suspension.

Well I saw a good deal for 20s instead of the 19s so I was like why not get 20s?

I'm not saying not to do it, but I would look for some better quality wheels. Also going up a profile will help. You could use 235/35/20 and 265/30/20 which is taller than stock. The speedometer will actually be a little more accurate since its off by 3 mph from the factory.
