To get 20s or 22s

Hey guys,

So I am looking to get some new TSW Nurburgring rims, however I don't know what size to get it in. My 1ss is basically a daily driver car. Would it be an unwise decision to get it in 22s? Or should 20s be better for my situation?

You will probably get a smoother ride from the 20's and honestly the 22's will prob look too big. If I were you i'd get the 20's and I LOVE the look of the TSW Nurburgring rims. Great choice!

I run 22s, no change in ride that I noticed. The 22s don't look big at all on these cars.

I just made the switch from 20's and 22's and I can tell a "slight" difference in the ride. I can definetly feel more of the roads imperfections, and I have to be honest...if I still lived up North where there were car eating pot holes, I would probably have gone with 20's. However, I live in Florida, and thankfully...our roads are flat and generally in great shape.

I have 22s and the ride is fine. I do feel more of the road but the overall ride is fine.

I've had my 22's on for about 2.5 years with no regrets at all. You can feel the road a bit more with less tire....lowering didn't help either. But for everyday driving and cruising, it doesn't bother me at all, can't even tell after you get used to it.

I had a honda that I had 17's on as stock and I went to 19's and heard
"it's gonna ride hard"

did not happen...

I then went to 20's and heard "it's gonna ride hard" -didnt happen

then I got my camaro and went from 20's to 22's and heard - yeah you guessed it...

Honestly except for a speed bump here and there I can't tell a enuf diff in going up sizes to matter on any of my cars...it's stiffer, but not as much as the forums sometimes would have you beleive...

Same here. I've definitely noticed a difference in ride but I am also dropped 1".

Agree completely on them not looking big on Camaros.

I went 22's with coilovers and don't regret it one bit. I love the way the car looks and ride quality has not changed at all. I live in Canada and our roads aren't that fantastic.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL every time I hear 22's are donks. I went 22's and 24's, and my car is nowhere near a donk.

OP, 22's look great..do what you like. After all, it's your car, your money, your satisfaction. 20's or 22's in TSW's will look great!

22's, 22's, 22's or 22's. But definitely go with the 22's.
