When I was getting my F80 with 20's, the sales guy was warning me about cracked wheels because there is not as much rubber around the wheels to protect them against impact. Bigger wheels don't improve performance, the ride is harsher, and they're more likely to crack...they look f**** great though!

Back to the topic, the difference in size between front and rear wheels is fairly noticeable. I pointed this out in another thread a few weeks ago. I am pretty sure I'm being too picky, but they would have been better off sacrificing performance if they were picking the 20's to begin with. Now, they've kind of half assed it. It doesn't look that great, the ride is as harsh and the performance is probably not as good as it could have been. They should have done what they did with the F8*
There's always the base 18"/19" wheel option
