Looks better. No offense to anyone but 20's with no drop is nearing ghetto fabulous Chrome of course. Why the change in wheels?

I prefer the ride better. I bought a Lexus for the smooth ride. 20's just take too much of that away for me. But I have the 20's on standby if the mood hits

How much of a difference the 20's make when it comes to the ride softness? does it become like when a Honda hits a bump?
