Default 21” wheel feedback

For those running custom 21” wheels, can you provide some feedback as to how the car feels compared to the stock 20”s? Specifically, thoughts on ride quality and comfort. Thanks!

I don't have 21s but if you're going from Runflat 20s to non runflat 21s, it should be smoother. Make sure you use the correct tire size. You need a 245/40/21. If you want a little more meat on the tire, 255/40/21

Also keep in mind with 21" wheels and tires, the selection is small .Most of the tires in this size are summer.

I an answer the OP's question, but in an LC. Went from the Forged 20" staggered wheels with Bridgestone RFTs to Vossen 21" (9½ & 10½) wheels with Michelin 255/40/21 & 295/35/21 PS4S summer tires. Ride is smoother and handling is improved. BTW, if any of you are interested:
