S65
New Member to the Club! Wheel help?

I just picked up a 2008 S65 with 25k miles on it- white with Tan leather.

I had a 2007 S550 that I leased, and I bought a 2010 Jaguar XF Supercharged- and just missed the Benz too much. Less than 10k miles on the Jag and I went back to the Benz with an S65.

Here is my question for all my new forum friends... I changed out the wheels and tires on my S550 for Konvex rims and low profile tires and hated the way it handled.

I want to replace the rims on the S65, but I dont want to change the ride at all. So... what is your advice? If I replace them with 20" wheels (same as factory) and keep the same sized tire, will it ride the same (assuming its the same brand tire, etc.)? Should I stick with stock?

Thanks!

Ok, but how much? I would imagine that if I stick with 20" wheels and keep the factory sized tires that the ride difference would be negligible
