Ride on 20's... no where near as soft as stock wheels but nothing I can't live with. I do a lot of 110kmph cruising and it's fine, not much more uncomfortable than standard. Town is a different story, but our local roads are horrible.

I will say specify the correct tyres, mine are taller but narrower, do not provide the greatest grip, and ride comfort should improve with the correct size. I'll grab the right size for you if you want.

And thanks champ! Loved the rims for years, finally got my own set.
