Rims?

I have an 07 CLS 550 and looking to get some nice rims with some deep lips on it without it ruining the quality of my ride too much...is it possible to get 22's or will that ruin the quality of the ride no matter what? Are 20's the biggest I can get? I want some nice *** rims which really make my car stand out I got a black on black CLS 550 and later will add a body kit too it is a 39 month lease so I have 38 months left on it, appreciate the help!

IMO, these look the best with 21". I have 20's and wish I did the 21"

however, do not go 22", they look stupid.

Do 21's mess up the quality of the ride??? I like how my car drives...and for some reason it's tough to find 21's? They usually go 20's then 22's....any good source to look at rims?

20's are best on this car and my car tastes are are not conservative. OK, 21's are just slightly too big depending on the face and finish, 22's make the car look too high off the ground and ruin the lines even if lowered and of course ruin the ride.....3 piece 20's with a 4 inch lip on the rear wheel lowered look amazing on this car....putting 22's is the biggest mistake one can make on a CLS....on a S550 its a different story.

You will find alot more 20's and 22's out there. A few high end companies build 21's. I went from 19's - 20's and it rode fine for me. Even when my
CLS55 was stock, I hated the ride.

21's look perfect on this car, but if u want a much better ride quality, go with 20's, and get more meat on that tire.

20's

20's with black lips and two tone black/brushed centers will look insane.
