Because the effective diameter is 20". The bike industry labels rims by
what the effective diameter would be if the rim had a 2" wide tire on
it. So 20" rims are really 16" in diameter and 19" rims are really 15"
in diameter. You can't find a 2" wide tire that fits a 19" rim, they
only have 2.5" wide tires, so to "simplify" things (confuse noobies)
people just call wheels with either 20" rims or 19" rims 20" wheels.
