CL65 wheels

Hey forum members, just thought I would get your opinion. As you probably know from my post I have put my 20" Avus wheels for sale. I have a guy interested locally but just trying to come to a dollar figure we agree on. Anyway I want to put 21" on my car you think it will work? Do you know of or have any pics of a CL 65 or any w215 body car with 21's that I can see? Or maybe I should just get another set of 20's. What do you think?

Thanks

I'd personally wont go beyond 19", but I think 20" is pretty much the limit on a C215.

Depending on your choice you can perhaps pick something that -looks- bigger than your current wheels. I think that if you choose wheels without a lip (like some HRE Monoblocks) they look bigger than a similarly sized wheel with a lip.

No wheels made look as cool as the stock ones..

With aftermarket wheels the cars looks like any other CL out there...the wheels are a distinguishing factor in the 612 hp 65


IMO ofcourse
