Default I finally took the plunge

I can now say that I have run every size rim possible on my GS.
here is a summary of rims
16 inch stock
17 inch stock
18 inch Work VS-xx
19 inch Work Equips
now these (most likely temporary) 20 inch Speedster (My wife calls them the "flower" rim LOL)

the 18's felt like the 17's. Just more responsive.

The 19 and 20 felt the same. they are stiffer and tend to be more rough on the ride but overall are more aggressive looking. The 20's definitely feel the wheel well better than the 19's.
