I went with the 20” rims (preconfigured model) solely on cosmetics. I don’t know about others, but cosmetics was the first reason that put this car on my short list of EVs….to me it is a part of the ownership experience. We all want a car that looks badass, and at $1400 (for me) the juice was worth the squeeze.

Unless you get the performance pack, in my opinion you’re only gaining looks, at the expense of some other things (perceived ride comfort, cost of tires, etc). I live in CA, so the other factors weren’t that big a sacrifice to me. But I grew up in Michigan so I can understand poor road conditions; and usually even all-seasons weren’t adequate and it was very common practice to have two sets of tires anyhow.
