The 20" wheels are, indeed, a harsher ride but how harsh (and noisy) is very dependent on the tyres. I bought the car with cheap tyres on it and thought a wheel bearing had gone! New Vredestein tyres made it a lot better for ride quality and noise, but they got noisier when worn.
But, whatever the ride quality and noise, doesn't the car look great on in the 20s?  |
Just harsher in my opinion Jim, though I only drove on the Vredesteins so had nothing to compare them with. The harsher ride is well worth putting up with for the improvement in handling, well worth it
They're THE wheels for the D2, nothing else comes close
