My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I've got 19" wheels as well... but I just wanted to ask because someone mentioned about ride comfort... is there BIG difference in comfort and/or ride if I change 'em 20"?
Before changing from 17" Run-flat to 19" non-Run-flat, I actually felt the latter better in noise and somewhat the ride! (Could be changing the shocks and spring etc at the same time but still...)
Please let me know!
Thanks.

My Ride: 04 525i sport, premium, winter, xenon. xm satellite radio, navwithtv dvd system, 1 jl 10w7 sub powered by xtant 1001x amp. 20x8.5/10 on nitto nt555 rubber. acs roof and decklid spoiler, breyton front spoiler.
depends on where you live. 20's in NY suck 20's in Cali are a given. Love the F-14s btw. I like the 19's personally because I don't have to drive around in fear. I blew out 2 tires at once coming off the Throgs Neck when I had the 525 and that was when I went down to 19's and the same reason I kept the 166's on my M5. If I lived someplace with decent roads I'd have those sweet azz forgiato's or some LM's

those are super strong wheels though, you really wouldnt have a problem unless you fell into a crater or something lol
