Default 996 C4S & 20" Wheels

Gents, I was hoping someone could answer a question, I was thinking of buying a set of 20" Wheels from another member, my concern is would the ride be too hardish? Remember I am a old goat

20 inch wheels are for looking at, not driving on.

Not only will the ride be worse, 20 inch wheels and tires are heavier than 18 inch wheels and tires. Increasing the unsprung weight will adversely affect braking and handling. Tires will cost more, and the general Rennlist community will look down their noses at you.

It depends. My forged 19"s are lighter than the OEM 18 set
