If you're getting bigger rims, you are already sacrificing some of that comfort. Depending on what kind of driver you are (and you strike me as the sensible type  ) you may not even want that extra performance. However, if you like to take her up over 180kmh every now and then, having all four wheels firmly hugging the ground is definitely more comfortable.

Thanks mate, I'm aware of the fact that the ride will get a lot harsher with a sports suspension and lower profile tires with a smaller sidewall - I used to drive an Alfa Romeo GTV (that probably rules me out of the sensible category, but anyway.
). It's one of the things I'm considering, particularly here in Boston where the roads are crap. This car will be a daily driver that will need to be comfortable with the odd freeway or twisty road dash. So I guess my criteria could be broken down as follows:
Performance - 40%
Comfort - 30%
Cosmetic - 30%

Forking out extra dosh and sacrificing warranty and ride comfort for unwanted/needed performance and the odd nod of approval from 1% of motorists... Well, i think you know you made the right decision.

LOL - I should post this quote on the Audizine forum. Love it!
