Even for track day use I'm not convinced that 20s will out perform 19s given the same tread width. Perhaps if I were such a good driver that the slight delay in response from the slightly more flexible sidewall made a difference, maybe, but since that isn't the case I'll go with the look I like.

I do think the 19s will outperform on the track for sure. For my purposes, I prefer the look of the 20s. I dont track and am more than satisfied with what the car can do with 20s. For the way I drive, I wouldnt notice the difference bewtween 19s and 20s. And as for three piece wheels, I have them now and in the past, they just dont hold up to these roads here. I also think Monoblocks suit the sportiness of the M5 better than three piece wheels with a lip.
