Thinking about upgrading to 18"
Thinking about upgrading to 18" from 17'. I'm sure tons of people have done this, but I was wondering if any of u noticed a difference in ride comfort. Was it more bouncy?

w211 & w124
If 18's can make that big of an impact I wonder what the ride will be like with 19's or even 20's. We need to have a w211 meet so someone can let me try their's out that has some bigger wheels.

was '03 E320 - now - '04 S4
If you guys come up to Seattle I'd be happy to let you see firsthand the difference. I went from the factory 16"s to 18"s and it wasn't altogether different in terms of ride harshness.

my car is lowered with 19s. the ride is definately different, but not harsh. you feel it, but its not jarring. i like it. with 18s, you really wont notice much difference. the tires you select will have the biggest impact.
