20" Wheels vs. 19" wheels--- quick opinions please
I recently changed cars and picked up a CLS 63, (030). Almost all the dealers I talk to are pushing 20" rims. 9" wide front and 11" wide rear. The side walls are getting pretty short! I live in the North but do not drive the car in winter. Major city roads with cracks, and pothole patches.
What are your real world experiences with 20" wheels vs. 19" wheels?

'20 for sure. just make sure you pick a reputable company, be cautious with all these start up's. goes without saying but you get what you pay for. My HRE's were able to withstand relatively minor potholes without any damage. But be advised, if you do decide to go with '20's, you def need to stay alert.

. In terms of a lowering module, in my opinion the carlsson C-tronic is the only choice. Its the only *true* plug n play ELM and it lowers the car as much or more then any other ELM on the market.
