Black Panamera Wheels
I am currently running 20 inch rims on my Panamera, brushed nickel looking finish.
I am seeking a black wheel set and wanted to
The ride is a bit rough now IMO so I truly prefer a wheel that is 20 inches or less.
Is there anyone out there running 21 inch rims? What is your experience with ride quality ?
suggestions and experiences welcomed
Thank you

I have 21" Summers (P-zero N1) and 20" All Seasons (Continental 006 Plus). The Conti 20" combo is a noticeably better ride, much quieter, faster turn-in, no ackerman effect, and hold the road better on mountain sweeping turns. I am thinking about leaving the 20" Conti combo on all year although I like the look of my 21" Turbo wheels. I can't say whether the tires 1/2" larger sidewall (wheel size) or the tire itself is the cause of the better ride and lower noise, but the Continentals hold the road better that the P-Zeros which shows how far the new all seasons have come with regard to performance.

For my 20" wheels I bought a set of silver Panamera Design wheels (the 20" size gives you the most varied tire options), and had them refinished using powder coat gloss black. The gloss black picks up on my gloss black window and vent trim but the better look would have been to keep a silver bead around the wheel similar to @movan wheels pictured above in the thread. That silver bead breaks up the all black look of wheel and tire. My all black looks a little more sinister and a little out of character with the car. The silver bead makes the wheels pop.
