Does anybody had issues changing OEM wheels for aftermarket ones?

I'm having a hard time deciding which set of wheels to order on the new Model S.

21" Arachnids look great, but while I live in South Florida where there are no hard winters and roads are pretty decent, I'm hesitating in terms of ride quality, noise and possible issues with such low profile tires.

I was thinking in ordering 19" Tempests (which look pretty bad) and then buying a nice set of 20" aftermarkets.

Have anyone done that?. How did it go?
 
I drove on 21” turbines for several years and had many flats and cracked wheels. I couldn’t find an alternative aftermarket wheel that was my style, so I ended up going with the Model X 20” staggered set. They fit great with spacers, and 20” is the right compromise in ride quality and performance imo. An added bonus is that the Model X Slipstream wheels have a higher load rating that the equivalent S wheels.
