I think the rims look pretty good. It certainly challenges the "no way possible to put 20's on a W203" logic, especially if it does not rub. Although I assume the wheels are not staggered.
I can deal with the sticker, but not much more on the car.

Hey i think your car looks gorgeous with those 20's, i also really like those lights with the blacked out reverse lights. Where did you get them from? I think it looks really elegant with good taste, no ricer or over the top mods. For those who don't like modding their mercedes, you should just keep to yourself...

Those lips!!!! I love them!...20" is insane. They look nice. I think your ride looks good overall...again not a fan of windows deflector...but I could hardly tell they were there coz your car is black..so thats ok...however I am just not feeling the muffler esp the tip...its just me. I think it would look better with an oval or a dual. As long as you like them...thats all it counts.

And how is putting expensive 20"s on a benz "inner city ghetto civic levels"?
How does that even make sense?
Take it from me, new wheels are great, All you haters must be 60 year old white geesers, who yell at us kids with our loud music and house parties just because you're not getting enough sex.
Don't like the car, say so, don't say that ppl need your prayers just because he mods his car in a way you don't like.
Peace.

On the way into work this morning I saw a E class with those large awful chrome rims which continue to rotate when the car is stopped. Now those were pimp-mobile rims.
These though they are not to my taste look quite nice. A question I do have is when you go that large compared to the wheel / tire combination that the car is designed for what is the downside in terms of performace, especially if this is a C230 (noticed that the badges are removed)?

Better acceleration, smaller top speed
Speedometer indicates higher than 'actual' travel
Odometer collects numbers quicker
Larger diameter than designed
Higher top speed, worse acceleration
Speedometer indicates lower than 'actual' travel
Odometer collects numbers slower
Also keep in mind that with (a) the larger the rim and (b) the smaller the tire profile = more bumpy ride and it pulls into groves stronger.

Haha wow, never would've guessed it was a spray, does that mean it goes on the outside or inside 
?
I think 20's on a c look just fine, the design has good taste and they aren't overly flashy, like lets say 20in chrome spinners, that would be over the top.
Would you be also complaining if they were 19in? I mean an INCH difference isn't that big. I'm gonna have to agree with DaChigga on wut he said

I think this has been discussed a few times... try a search.
most people stick w/ 19s for the sake of not having to excessively roll their fenders. It doesnt sound impossible though... just depends on how much you wanna roll your fenders.

I'm gonna merge your thread because it's been discussed before, but I took the liberty of searching for the older threads that would've applied, so that you wouldn't have had to start this thread:
LINK: User - Sinyo1 20 inch rims
LINK: Another one
LINK: 20's on a 240
LINK: more info on the car above
Okay, so to ALL the NEWBIES out there. Please do not say that the search doesn't work. These links were found using "20's wheels" (without the quotes) and specifically searching (advanced search) in the w203 forum.
