Question Anyone with 20's regret getting them???

Just curious if anyone with 20’s regrets getting them…reason I ask is that it seems that whenever someone asks about getting 20’s a lot of people (myself included in the past) jump in and say “don’t do it”….it doesn’t look good (subjective), the ride goes to hell (subjective), your acceleration will be killed (objective)…but at the same time those WITH 20’s seem to be real happy with them.

And that’s why I ask the question…is there anyone out there with 20’s that regrets getting them and/or maybe you had 20’s and switched to 18’s or 19’s

TIA

I have had 19's 20's and now 19's again. For me the ride,handling and
acceleration are definitley better with 19's.

ps. I do not regret the 20's though

I think 20's would look right on the S class since it's such a huge car. Probably slap on beefier tires to soften up the ride a bit. 20's on the E class is an overkill. Great for show, but not for the road.
