S4 Rims 19" vs 20"
 

Want to buy some wheels trying see the pros and cons of possibly going to 20 Inch wheels

Re: S4 Rims 19" vs 20"
 

Besides ride comfort and cost of rim and rubber that's about it. Well that amend bigger rim looks nice! :)

Less rubber, less give on potholes and the ride is just way rougher. Are you going to lower the car?

Also to consider: Larger rims are often heavier therefore you will loose a little in acceleration....


For this consideration you should go to 17"....... Just kidding :)

I've always been a fan of big rims, but as others mentioned 20's are quite large for this car. Unless you live in an area that has nice clean roads I wouldn't recommend going for 20's.

When I had my car on order I thought I would go with 20's for summer, but after looking at numerous pictures I actually think 19's look better. Plus the rims are cheaper, cheaper tires, lighter weight, more comfortable.

20's give the car a totally different look. Just be cautious and don't go too aggressive with the offset as a full load will cause some rubbing to occur. Also make sure you get tires that work with your offset. My rear wheels are 20x10's w/ 40 offset. I had rubbing, but also because of my tires.... face too square (Hankook Ventus V12's). Thank goodness they were due to be changed. Just ordered my new tires and can't wait to get them next week.... Michelin Super Sports. Face not as square so rubbing issue should be fixed.

Go see Eric at Bramalea Tires. Good selection of rims and good prices on tires. Eric knows his stuff and will give you the right advice.
