Update on Super aero rims

Hi all,
So, today, I decided to go down to the tire shop, and change tires. The difference is amazing. The harsh ride is gone. All along, I thought it was the big rims, yet it was the tires. Secondly, the steering is much easier/ lighter to turn. The tires, which were mounted prior, made the steering wheel bite, and harder to correct.
Here is what I learned: I settled for Pirelli 205/50s. The great thing, is that I was able to place other tires side by side, and compare. The Goodyear tires, appeared much wider than the Pirelli, even though they were both 205/50s. As I compared more 205/50 tires, I had to double check if they were indeed 205/50s for widths did vary! Secondly, some tire walls are more bulgier than others. I imagine that the Goodyear tires would more than likely rub. For that reason, it is best to go down to a tire store instead of mail order.
As Zaab mentioned below, tires make a huge difference in smoothness, and absorption of bumps, etc.
I think the super aeros appear nicer than the aero wheels-even though Landjet typed that they are heavier, and don't perform as well.
Thanks for the all the help, ! Now I need an SPG kit! Hmmmmmn
