aol : insightful comment
whenever i want highly reliable and insightful comments on any subject, i go to arianna huffingtons news site on aol. particularly enlightening and erudite is the aol site on automobiles. there has been some discussion recently on the forum here about aftermarket wheels, so when i saw the attached reference on aol, i copied it to pass it onto all members. particularly noteworthy is the comment: "...you can expect to feel more vibration as your [sic] travel over cracks, potholes and road debris." i personally endorse the observation to avoid traveling over road debris. (perhaps the mag ride compensates for debris as your travel, but i do not have it, so i can not comment further.) 
1. Aftermarket wheels
Aftermarket wheels can make a car look more sporty or luxurious than the factory rims. While they often cost thousands of dollars, aftermarket wheels typically don't add to your car's resale value, and can reduce the comfort of your ride. When you install larger wheels, the low-profile tires reduce the cushion between the car and the road. As a result, you can expect to feel more vibration as your travel over cracks, potholes and road debris.

agreed. i used to "hang out" there. surprisingly, i was not particularly well received, so i moved onto the vette site, in an effort to see what i could bring to the forum. turns out it was a lot more expensive. i didnt have to buy anything to join aol.

I can appreciate the "expense" of joining a forum-13 yrs ago I joined a dog forum so I had to get a dog to fit in. Now 13 yrs later I am still following the dog wherever she walks and bending over with a bad back picking up crap 3 times a day. (and would continue forever if possible)
