I talked to the guy who bought it and he said he had just bought it that way the week before from the dealer. He says it was so hard on the road that it did not drive as well the standard car, so had arranged for the dealer to fit the 17" M Sport wheels that came on it.
Ok, I can imagine 20" beeing almost like driving on the rims. I also think that when it gets too extreme like 20" or more, it begins to look awkward i my opinion, -and you will probably end up getting hemorides as well
