C63 Wheel Size
Buying a new C63 and thinking of sticking with the standard 18 inch wheels for the best ride quality.... or is there hardly any difference to the 19 inch wheels and I should upgrade? Any advice?

If you're looking at a C63 S, you must get 19's. 18's won't clear the brake calipers. As far as ride quality: I haven't driven a W205 on 18's (though I had both 18's and 19's on my W204), but I don't find the ride quality on 19's to be too bad. And I live in New England, where winters are pretty tough on the roads.

I don't think you would notice the ride quality differences on an AMG car. The suspension is already stiff even with the different modes and the difference between 18 to 19 would be difficult to feel. There are other factors that affect how a car feels when it comes to road surfaces, such as wheel weight and proper tire inflation.
