The 20s appear to better visually fill the wheel openings and tend to make the car look smaller (even though the overall tire diameter is really unchanged). Just MHO, but now when I see a car with 19s, the wheels look small - too small. I have not noticed any degradation in ride quality, but I did transition to the F83, which I've been thoroughly enjoying. On a side note, the convertible appears shorter due to the roof line when the top is up.

Great looking car. But I am abut surprised that the the 20" wheels gives the same ride comfort . How about the road noise is it the same as 19"
The car is pretty loud regardless of wheel size. I run in sport+ throttle, which likely drowns out any real difference due to wheel size. I also have the top down a a lot. The ZCP F83 rides very nice and the difference in suspension settings is setup very well.

Congrats dude!! How do you like the burbles on your ZCP?
Thx man!

Love it but also like that I can choose to not hear it in certain places with the settings. The engine sounds amazing to me

They might be if they would stop all the construction east of Charlotte and re-paving on I-485

666's are ugly, it's an M4 not a Cadillac or Chrysler 300.

I agree. I had 19s on my M3 for a couple years and love the 20s on my M4.

Totally Agree! Even better with a drop to fill out the wheel wells. It compliments the lines in a major way!

My car came with 19's and i thought the 19's looked great.

I track and autocross my car so i went we a beefy square setup 285's all around.

I actually love how purposeful the car looks now. the car is dropped on Ohlins, it looks much lower than anything on 20's and looks much wider.

F8x's look good with 18,19 or 20" wheels. Not many cars can pull that off.
