19s v 20s

Just switched my car back to 19s from 20s (I have C7 RS6 dished 20 alloys rather than B9 options) and, while they don’t look so good, the car is so much better to drive on the A and B roads around me - noticeably better ride and road noise/NVH with no obvious change in handling. Definitely the sweet spot for this car IMO.

PS if you are considering the C7 20s they are very light and very strong (forged). Much lighter than the B9 20s except possibly the milled ones (not compared with these). Offset is better than B9 wheels too.

I have the exact same set up the RS6 20" for summer and the oem 19" for the winters
just got them back from being powder coated and trying to get a set of winter tyres for them

Can't say I noticed any difference between my 20" and 19". What tires were you using?

PS4S on the 20s. Continental Sport Contact 6 on the 19s. A lot of the difference in ride - sidewall aside - is probably that the 19s run much lower pressures.

Supplyed with 20", they do look good and ride quality suits me in all model.
Was considdering 20" wheels on Ebay, similar design from £550-£650 then set winter Tyre's?
