Well since you laid down all the facts out then i better switch to 18s right away! Why you against 20s? Only because of the ride comfort?

You said you can't tell the difference between the 19s and the 20s. I said that the BMW marketing people were right in marketing the cars to people who can't tell the difference. They are marketing cars to people who prize form over function. This sells more M3s overall and forces the normal people to suffer through the myriad threads about 20 inch wheels, color matched reflector replacements, multi-piston brake upgrades and cars lowered to the point that they drive like shit. That's what I was saying.

Im not...more power to him to keep his 18's but theres no need for him to get all smart and say we won't be able to tell a difference between a m3 and civic.

Haha, what the hell is up with that guy? I think he's trying to say "Ugh, dubs are so not cool on a performance car... you mainstream conformists." (in late 1990s goth kid voice)
I guess GT-Rs, Lambos, and Ferraris were "M"arketed to the same uneducated masses... I figure the M has big enough wheel wells to pull off the look of 20s without looking like they're rollin with the dubs crowd. and dudes who own 20s and are tracking their M are swapping to different wheels anyway. |

18" vs. 19" I feel a huge difference... PS2 vs. PS2... car is noticeably quieter and smoother on 18's. After going to aftermarket 18's on Michelin Pilot Super Sport I have zero desire to go any larger diameter... the car is smooth and performs incredibly (lost more than 20 pounds of unsprung weight from stock) Everyone has different preferences... larger wheels do make the car perform worse and ride worse... but in some peoples eyes they look better... so more power to them... |

In my opinion tires will make a bigger impact on ride quality than 19" vs. 20" ever will. That being said, one mans "harsh ride" is another mans "comfortable ride" so its all subjective.

Not sure why "Radiation Joe" even comes on these threads about 20" wheels. All he does is talk shit about 20's and the people who rock them. If he doesn't like 20's, cool. No need to talk shit to people who don't share the same point of view as he does... Hey Joe, have you ever heard, "To each his own"? Your E90 is lookin whack with those donuts, too. You might as well put a lift kit on your M3 and go off-roading with it. If you're gonna rock 18's, at least make it look coo . |

Explain this. I do agree with cars being lowered too much and having a negative effect on handling. I had that issue with my H&R springs but have swapped them out. I havent felt a decrease in performance with 20s though, which can weigh the same as stock 18s or 19s. As long as you have enough sidewall to roll through turns then it seems to work out just fine.

I'll chime in here. I roll on dubs (HRE P40) in summer and 19's (stock ZCP wheels) in winter. I can tell a ride comfort difference for sure, but not huge. Yes the 20's are a little harsher but I don't feel any performance difference. I weighed each wheel when the stock ZCP's had the PS2 tires mounted (snow tires are on them now which makes them more heavier) and it was actually a bit heavier by a few lbs than the 20" HRE with the same tire. I know unsprung weight blah blah blah but just get a quality forged wheel brand (HRE!) so you won't have to sacrifice performance for the awesome looks of the dubs!
