Makes sense, thanks.

You shouldn't have too much problem with most pot holes as long as you're running strong wheels.
There are guys from Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Malaysia on this forum running 20s and 21s. Those areas have jacked up roads as well.

Is there a way to tell if a rim is "strong" as you call it?

20" may be a bit too big but yeah I can see 19" and I can see myself smiling
