What I do know is that replacing a factory rim will cost me $1500, replacing a Niche will cost me $300 so from a practicality standpoint, aftermarket makes sense if my concern was economy.

Tire price for 21" have come down to a few bucks of a 20" which wasn't the case a few years ago when 21" were considered exotic.

From an aesthetic standpoint, an F-Type, with a staggered 21" set-up makes the car looks like an exotic. The car will now begin to creep to Aston Martin status as an example. If you want to have wheels that look proper, that belong on a supercar...A 21" wheel will make that difference.

I've given this some thought.
I can tell you for a fact this does make a difference. My wife has 25 sidewall...I have a 30 sidewall.....we are always replacing/fixing her rims....but not mine. And yes I know the whole "woman driver" thing....but I have been with her when she has done it on the smallest pothole.

The sidewall size alone tells us little, we need to know the tyre width to know how much it's 25% or 30% of in order to gauge the difference.

both were on 305 tires....I am telling you , it makes a difference. Was just about 1/2 inch difference, like talked about by the OP

Well obviously 5% of 305mm makes a difference, no-one is disputing that.

Actually what you were saying was that your wife's sidewall was 25 and yours was 30, and that it made a difference, without stating the tyre widths involved, so inadequate information for anyone to base any opinion on. We're all capable of working out percentages, given all the necessary dimensions.
