I would go with a 21"...google "Autocouture" and youll see the line they have using 21" wheels on both S and CL. The 21" is even the wheel of choice among CLS owners which obviously have a smaller body as well as no fender flares.
M-Concepts, custom makes 21" wheels...anything smaller you might as well stay OEM as the look wont change enough to justify the expense involved. IMHO.

Relax!!!
Man.... I'm used to read/post in CLK forum, becouse thats my aim right now..
I'm just 23 but I already prefer a cruiser than a sporty car.. (that's why I'm looking for a CLK and not an ///M bullit).. and my poor money will barely afford it..
You have a GREAT car, and if you got there (to be able to get a car like that in life) it means that you know better than anyone that you don't have to prove anything to anybody.
I think exact that when someone says that "he will smoke my CLK w/ 20"... I just think: "ok, smoke it.. i don't f#$% care..." Its is fast enough even w/ 0,00125s more in 0-60...
I'm not pushing anything here.. but I would kill for a car like your.. (and looots of peple in CLK forum - since the CL is the natural upgrade from CLK)..
enjoy your ride...

azp.
As I said earlier, the issue of unsprung weight is irrelevant to 99% of the people that drive CL's; you have a technical point, just not a practical one. Unsprung weight relates to racing my friend.
It's the same argument as a spoiler lip. Do you actually beleive anyone with a CL drives their car hard enough to appreciate the benefits? It's a matter of aethetics, plain and simple.
I still have a set of OEM wheels to bring it back to stock if need be. I simply havnt felt a particular burning desire to go back to stock due to a glaring performance decrease that I noticed after the switch.
Newsflash...A few people that drive Range Rovers don't go off roading either.
