i had an s600 with 20's, as far as what you heard about ride quality sucks, it all depends on the roads, i dont care if you have 24's, it all depends on the roads and how much tire profile you have on the wheel. An suv with 24's that has 3 or 4" of tire profile rides smooth. With 20's on these cars you dont feel no ride quality loss on great smooth roads but ofcourse you will lose a little quality on bad roads, not because of the wheel but because of the tires and the low profiles. If we could put 20's on these cars and have room to keep a 3" profile tire we would lose no ride quality. But its not that much worse with 20's and the stock 18's. If you weigh the plus & minus's its worth the upgrade, these cars are too big for anything less than a 20" wheel, i cant believe they dont come stock with at least 19's, Mercedes builds machines but as far as stock wheels they suck. Take care my friend. I will post pics when im done. It should look great.
