21's?

Would 21 inch rims mess up the quality of the ride or no? I was thinking of getting 20's but heard 21's are available. I know 22's would be toooo big but you think 21's would fit the car ok and not mess up the ride?

I think you compensate alot in terms of ride quality even w/ dubs.....so I would assume that 21's will only be harsher??
I have 20's on my car. I think 20's look perfect for this chassis. Just my 2 cents.

I have 21's on mine, but I think 20, with a bigger profile tire will give you better ride quality. I think 22's on this car is to much, but people are doing it, lol.

Go with the 21's. IMO, the my CLS55 rode like garbage when it was stock. When I put the 20's on it, it felt the same to me. I wish I did the 21's also

Won't 21's mess up the ride quality and how significantly?

IMO
If you are coming from the 18" OEM wheels, you will feel more of the road. If
you are coming from the 19" OEM wheels, it will feel the same. If you do the 21's now, you will not have to think about the later on. 20"s are sorta small, and 22"s are way too much. 21's are perfect IMO.
