SL55 ride quality with plus 1 or plus 2
i am going to purchase some aftermarket wheels for my SL55 and wanted to know how much ride quality is sacrificed by going to 19's or 20" wheels from the stock 18's... i am coming out of a 996TT and expect the SL55 to ride better..

I did 20's on an SL55 - it wasn't too bad for me, but it was a little 'harsh'.
Coming off of the 996, if you want a BETTER ride quality, I'd suggest that you go with 19's...and PS2's -- this should work very well for you.

I have 20's with PS2'sI don't think it's too harsh, although there is a difference from the 18's. Probably the 19's are a little more conservative but harder to get rid of if you decide to sell them
