Exactly - the roads here are extremely bad, and it's not just potholes. The other culprit is construction - Im very good at avoiding potholes and rarely get anywhere near them, but Ive bent two of my 19 inch rims as a result of raised construction grates.
I went back and forth, but I decided I am getting the 20's because the price is just too good. Should the 20's be too harsh, it will be easy to downgrade to 19s with an owner who regrets not getting the 20's. You could do a + cash swap and Im sure you can get at least the $1300.
This is what I plan to do once I order my 20" aftermkts - take off the 20" PSS's for the aftermkt wheels, and swap my 20's for 19's plus cash to someone and pop winter tires on them.
Back when the e46 M3 offered 19s as an option, TONS of owners had regret in not getting the 19's - a +cash trade was very easy to do - and if you had the 19's, you were making the market. I'd think it would be the same way with the 20's and the F10. Getting the 20;s puts you in a much better position should u change your mind. Not to mention with all the guys who will want to sell their 19s when they buy aftermkt wheels like you said, forums will be littered with 19's for sale killing their resale value.
