For those that have had 19" wheels then switched to 20" wheels with sport suspension and H&R sport springs was there any difference in ride quality 35 series tires on the front 30 series in the back .Im getting close to wheel buying and the ride quality is a big factor for me . If theyre similar or no different then ill go 20"s. any input is appreciated thanks

E60 530i - sport package, bluetooth
mods: M-tech full kit, OEM M5 side mirrors, Hella smoked tail light, Formula One Classic tint 50% all around
IMO, go with 20" and you won't regret. I just don't want you getting 19" and couple weeks later you're thinking you should've had 20"

I agree with going with 20's... but stay away from the bling bling rims like maya, in my opinion spory rims just fit the car better..
Im all for "sporty" but if were gonna talk about something negatively then lets get a wheel that has quality, strength and isnt built in a persons garage where he cant get major distribution sales through major wheel shops
I guess these 2 cars with maya wheels are too "BLING" for you :'(

Okay, I just deleted a bunch of immature and unnecessary posts from this thread. Let's try this again, shall we?
For the record: someone saying that they don't like a particular brand of rim isn't a cue to start personal attacks.
