Different looking wheel - sorta takes a little while gettng used to them (my $0.02). Car does come across as unique looking. Any special reason you downsized wheels front & back from factory setup?

I would guess you get a softer ride with the additional sidewall height.

Yup. That's the reason. But more. Many roads (around my city) are damaged by military operations and the moving armored machinery.
