Wheels look great! Tires are like rubber bands now! Does it ride rougher than the 20's ? (or 19's) ?

No the opposite, ride is great, seems to be softer than the 20”, maybe it’s the type of tyre, Hankook evo s1,s, virtually no road noise compared to the continentals I had on

I experienced the same with hankooks on one of my other rides - also went to large wheels and virtually no rubber - ride actually seemed better.be mindful though because even small potholes can crack a rim. I drive very little and am always careful as all but one of my cars is lowered, but I cracked a rim a couple years ago.

wheels look really good though!

With normal driving here iin MA, avoiding potholes as best as possible, we needed 3 wheels straightened at about 25K miles on our BMW with RF tires.
The BMW dealer was not surprised - said it was "normal" !!
I am very careful with the Jag but **** happens!!
