Buying a new Maserati Ghibli - what wheels?

I am considering buying a 2015 Maserati Ghibli S which comes with 18 inch wheels as standard, but as an extra you can have 19 inch, 20 inch or 21 Inch wheels.On questioning the dealer he says the only difference is the look, but I have seen you advise that the ride is also affected.

If so can you advise me which size you think I should choose?

Answered by Honest John

Unless you are planning to race the car, stick with the standard 18" wheels. The 19s, 20s and 21s all mean less rubber between the rims and the roads, which on Britain's pothole infested roads is a recipe for disaster as well as for a bruised coccyx.
