I really like how the 20's and 21's look, but I prefer the ride of the 19's. I changed out the Goodyears to Michelins a few months back, and the rims actually look better with them. The Goodyears are rather slab-sided and make the rims look smaller. The contour of the Michelins make the rims seem proportional to the car.

I was dead set against the 20"s until I took one for a drive. I was really surprised at the ride quality. They don't crash and bang like my Benz did with 18" AMG wheels. As I chose a lot car, it was either take or leave it with Carrera S Platinums. Michelin makes a great tire. Always preferred them over anything else.

That's what others have posted here, so glad they are working for you. I just had a bad experience with them on my BMW and was always thankful when I put my snows on. Pity. Also after watching Randy Pobst taking the C2 around the track on 19's, I thought they would be adequate for me, lol.

Full disclosure- I have 5 years of tire and wheel insurance. I'd be the first to agree that anything over 19" is for showin' not goin' for the street.

Hi,

I just wanted to say that after much consideration, your car inspired me to go for the base. I'm speccing one that's very, very similar. Any regrets or changes that you would make now that you have had it a bit longer?

Thanks! Was going to order a 2018 with black/saddle leather but was not going be patient enough after seeing this was available at the dealer. I preferred to grab this one as the interior was the luxor beige and enjoyy what's left of the summer and fall
