IMO, if your car is not made to fit 20's, don't put em on. Simply enough. 20's? On a 300c? Sure. But not a w124.

I mean, it's definitely possible, but not necessarily "cool."

I'm usually not one to blatantly attack others but how blind, dumb, and tasteless are you?

Were really trying to help you bro.......nothing worst than spending 2 grand on chrome 20's and watching people point and laugh at you.

you know what though, i can't be a hypocrite, i've said before that i really do love how 'h22freak' hooked up his car with those 20's (first link i posted)... not sure how it looks in the flesh, but in pics it looks good...
if Faktor slams it with some sort of kit it MIGHT look okay, but at that point it comes down to the choice of wheel style...

I guess we'll just have to see how others like it when I'm done with my project...

Got a few things planned.

Any idea where I can get a Carlsson w124 kit from?

there was a 124 with 20s on ebay a while back if i remember correctly.
looked like poop. A lot of chrome 20s look like they were designed
by kindergarteners.

That actually looks good, do you have pictures of it on the road? Grass can make it really deceptive with lowered cars.

stupid wheel

my god man, you're driving a Mercedes not a damn Honda. Putting these stupid over-sized wheels on a Benz is like dressing up in a tuxedo and wearing a pair of bowling shoes.

It depends on the type of MB you have. Max on the w124, that looks good, is 19".

Agreed. 20's fill up the wheel well too much, but I think either 18's or 19's still give you that look, without using black rubber-bands as tires.
