the issue we have is experience Nick. I put 17s on my S2 and it rides a lot harder vs 16s. I have 19s on the M and it rides like it's not got any rubber (which it almost hasn't)

we were on the same page. i keep pondering putting 16s back on the S, i have winters on 16s which are akin to a moderately turbulent flight vs the 17s ball busting assault

Big cars ride them well. Not so big cars don't. 20's fill the arches on 7ers nicely, if I was buying one, I'd consider it. You'll see that many 7's have them, they are an option size for M Sport or SE. Not sure what you're implying, that the ride would be shite? Such doubters, this isn't a crashy M. It's a floater. A wafter. A limo.
Some cars are right for whatever wheel size, s2KS are perfect for 16's. Million times arguement that one, in which I agree they are 'better' than 17's. Although the 17's offer more grip, it's then down to preference and umpteen disagreements.

Anyhow, A5 I think is a decent choice. It's a shame others don't agree. As usual.

So I went to go look at two A5's both bloody sold, no one really likes the fabia apart from Chav's!.

Yesterday 'two' complements about it, I've never had till yesterday.
