Wheel size
17 vs 20, um ill have 20s no, ill pick 17ers...uhh???!!!
The answer: unless you're from west coast customs, you shouldn't put 19+ inchers on your vehicle, mainly for ride comfort, because (High side wall=more comfort, partially a side wall acts as a "tire shock absorber").
But at the same time less side wall=sleeker profile, and then makes the car handle better.
Take the time to read this note:
Michelin aims to eliminate flats and blowouts with its remarkable Tweel concept, an airless one-piece wheel-and-tire combo that could soon enter production. The Tweel's hub connects to polyurethane spokes that assume the shock-absorbing role of a traditional tire's sidewall. The spokes are bonded to a reinforced rubber tread band that can be as specialized as today's tires. By varying the thickness and size of the spokes, Michelin can generate a wide array of ride and handling qualities.

Torque v. Horsepower
I think of torque as twisting someones arm, and horsepower as pulling it out their socket,
So heres my explanation, "so you're telling me this!, If i have lots of torque and no HP, will only go to 60 but it will accelerate very quickly (like this: 1...2...60...60 and so on), and if I have lots of HP but no torque it will reach "unlimited" top speed (like this 1.2.3.4 etc. after an hour 20...40..60..etc.)
and I base this on my knowledge and common sense.
Heres a cool game:
