I've just seen a picture on your obsidian black thread. They'll look amazing on a blacked out car.

The plus side is that the car now reacts a little quicker.
I could see that some people wouldn't like the ride if they already think it rides harshly.
The car is also easier to break traction but more controllable when sideways.

C63S Estate
That's really helpful insight thanks, interesting to hear the difference is so noticeable.
I'm weighing up wheel options and am pretty set on staying with 19s just cause I am worried the ride will be too harsh to live with. I am intending to lower the car slightly with the KW sleeve kit and just hope the ride still stays acceptable. Guess we'll find out!

C63S Estate
Hey SuperNik how are you finding it after a week or so of running? Debating whether I can live with 20s on my estate but am worried the ride will be too hard to live with. How are you finding it ?
Your estate looks amazing BTW. I hope to recreate one very similar in Australia when mine arrives.

20" wheels definitely look a lot better on the car than the 19's though.
