Hi, I so want the 20' tequipment design wheels but I must prepare a plan B incase I can't order them.

Looking at the 21 wheels, both are nice but it's more expensive tires + less range.

But again, it looks much nicer than the other 2 20' wheels. Plus better grip.

Another thing I'm not so sure is, how much harder it is. Is it noticable? Or are the suspensions so good that we can't tell the difference from the inside?

I have the 21" wheels and All Season tires and can say that the ride is very comfortable on the Normal setting. Of course the ride stiffens when going to Sport or Sport Plus, but that is as it should.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting the ride to be this comfortable, but I'm very happy with the result.

21" ride fine but 20" are definitely nicer in ride quality and less of an issue on potholes and blow outs - first one ever was on 21"s... been on 20"s for 10 years, and never a blow out.... but the mission E's are lookers...
