I have a 90 525i with stock 15" wheels.

I'm planning on replacing them with either the 18" TT style wheels or the 17" "turbine" 5 spoke M-style wheels.

Does any know whether or not there is a big difference in terms of ride quality between 17" and 18" wheels with a stock suspension?

Also, does anyone have a preference one way or the other?

Thanks!
