20's man. nothing looks sweeter than a new stang dropped on some 20's. i got black on black on black. mine are 20" ASA JH8's. i seriously get compliments every day. it made my day yesterday when i was driving with my gf by the mall and i saw this kid get out of his car and mouth the words, "OH MY GOD!!". the new mustang is one of the few cars out that can do 20's and do them right.

20s if youre all for show.
18s if youre all for everything else (which includes comfort, durability (potholes own big rims [:@]), performance, etc)

actualy, 20's will outperform 18's slightly if they have the same type tires on them because of the firmer sidewall (slightly better steering response, cornering). true you cant buy DR's for 20's or track tires. but apples to apples, 20's are slightly better. yeah you lose some comfort, but youre also already pretty much on low-pros with 18's anyways. all about personal preference.

it is very likely that a driver with 20s will go slower due to the fact that the diameter is just plain larger. not to mention the weight. if you dont go all out on the 20s, they will end up being about 35lbs a piece

These rims wouldnt be left on when going to the track.. these are like a brand new pair of air force ones.. you wear them out at night ... but not to track practice haha... The 20s i would figure go slower simply bc of rotational mass.. im a physics major so this stuff makes sense haha... thanks for the input.. keep it coming.
