19 or 20 inch wheels.

Hi guyz, I will be receiving my 2009 c2s soon and want to put some after market wheels. However I am not sure wether to go with 19s or 20s. Keep in mind I ordered my car with the sport suspension (-20mm) so I won't have the option to switch it to comfort mode. I would like to know if the ride will be too harsh with 20s. Need your advice. Thanks.

+1, 19" wheels has the right balance between rubber and metal.

I ordered P17 which is (PASM sports chassis (-20mm) with limited slip rear differential lock) are you sure this has the normal to sport mode option? I hope it does. Thanks.

alex@wheelexperts is infamous around these parts

If your doing any type of performance driving (ie Tracking) stick with the 19s, but as far as ride, the 20s are not much harsher than the 19s...

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions

I went from 19" to 20" and really didnt notice any difference in normal day to day driving here in Chicago. However I also went to 245 up front and 305 in rear.
