Has anyone had a chance yet to drive on both the 20" and the 19" wheels? If so, could you please share your thoughts on what the difference is in ride quality between the two?
Normally I like to go with a vehicle's standard wheel size because the tires, by having more sidewall, usually provide a more forgiving ride than the tires on the bigger (bling) wheels. I wonder if the super skinniness of the tires on the i3 has any impact on this. I suppose it could mean that going to a bigger wheel means going to an even harsher ride than on other cars, but maybe there is some law of tire dynamics that says the opposite in this case?
