Anyone have the 21 or 22's in NYC without any issues?

I hate the run flats. Seems you feel every little pot hole as if it's a crater.
I currently have 22’s on my x6 M50i and I think BMW has done a great job of damping the suspension to accommodate the rim size. I was nervous upon ordering initially, but couldn’t see myself with small rims in those large wheel wells. My comfort is A1, better than a friend of mine’s urus on 22’s. I live in NYC, so I feel ur pain. I had a 2013 535 w/ 19 run flats and the replacements by the end of the lease totaled 13.
