What are you thoughts on the ride of 20's vs 19's?

I assume you needed no spaces and car doesnt rub either?

And what springs/suspension are you running?

Sorry for all the questions and for hijacking this thread a bit....
I didn't notice that much of a difference between my OEM 19" and the 20" HRE's. I'm sure the major component is the selection of tires as up-sizing the rims will result in a thinner profile tire. The Nitto INVO's I'm running have been relatively quiet and smooth, and I have no complaints with them.

The specs on the HRE's are perfect, resulting in no rubbing or spacers needed. I've been big on aftermarket rims on all my past cars and spent lots of time learning offsets and true proper fitment. The biggest help came from a fellow 6spd'r (Korn58) who helped me find the best offsets as seen.

I'm currently on H&R springs with my OEM V8VS dampers which are stiffer than the standard suspension. I feel the stiffer setup versus my OEM V8VS springs (which are for sale btw ) but am used to the ride based off my prior cars (Lotus, Z4M, S2000's, etc.)

Thanks for the compliments on my car and here's another picture to enjoy..!

Wow the Vantage body really lends iteself well to lowering and mesh style 20"wheels...very impressive

I think what would look great on Vantage is not neccassarily the same as what may look good on DB. with shorter wheel base the Mesh style fits & looks aggreive and more sports car like and just works....I think on a longer chassis like DB, Vanq, Virage, Rapide....a split spoke with a deep concave which says GT car or sports cruiser may work well.

Sunir completely agree with you. Split five spokes would work great on it.
