tired of 20" wheels?

Is anyone else tired of their 20" wheels? i have the 20" 668M rims and I am constantly having these straightened because the alloy compound is so soft that the rims bend with each pothole hit (sometimes you can't avoid them).

Has anyone moved from 668M's to a 19" wheel?

Why move down in size? Won't look as good and will require new tires. Buy a quality 20" replacement, specifically a forged alloy wheel.

I'm so tired of 20" wheels that I ordered a set of 19" with wider widths and will be installing them later this week with wider non run flat tires! I'm in Houston and the streets are horrible especially inside the loop I find myself cringing most days due to some really loud jarring bumps and I'm actually stressed while driving trying to keep an eye out for deep cracks and protruding bumps. Don't get me wrong I've always loved the VIP style and used to drool looking at Japanese magazines back in the day but people have to remember roads in Japan are pristine, so as a compromise I've gone smaller diameter but wider and more of a performance stance.

Yes, I did two and a half years ago. I put 19" 7 series wheels on it (1/2" wider than the 5 series) and put 255/285 Pirelli non runflats on mine
