F33 20" Wheels ride quality

Has anyone fitted 20" wheels to their convertible, I'm interested in the ride quality as they only went up to 19" from factory. I understand going bigger with reduced tyre thickness meaning less flex to soak up the bumps but what's it like in real life? Thanks

It can only be worse with 20" wheels

Not only worse ride but even more susceptible to pot hole damage

Personally I think the trend for putting the biggest possible wheels on a car is a ridiculous fashion statement but that's just me.

I'd also be concerned about more body shake with a convertible. Don't want to generate more rattles.

please no. I had a f30 with 19 inch wheels and always wished though they looked better I had the 18's. 20s are likely to be worse.

Cheers for your replies but I have gone for 19's though and possibly 442's. I've started another thread to help me make my decision. The risk is just too great.
