So after waiting for like 4 weeks for the shop to get my wheels I finally got them. This are the wheels from the forum where I couldn't decide between 20s or 19s.

They're SEVAS S55 20 x 8.5 front & 20 x 10 rear w/ Falkens FK 452 285/25/20 rear and 245/30/20 front. About the issue of how it rides well I don't think it's as bad as most people make it out to seem. It all depends on the quality of the road. POT HOLES will become your WORST ENEMY I know I need to lower my car which I will do as soon as i get some time. But here are the pictures for right now. Let me know what you HONESTLY think...

Looks good...I wanted the same wheels, sold my 20's maya to rasheed, but got 19's for the ride quality....time to get rid off the gap

20's+lowered=teeth rattle.


Looks good though, but I couldn't ride on 20s everyday as my daily driver.

Hell, I'm thinking about selling my 19's and getting 18's.

How much would you all recommend me to lower it? I measured the front and it seems I only have about 1 1/2" before the tire will rub with the fender.

very nice

Honestly?

No offense, but, 20s are too big. Tiny strips of rubber look funny.

Don't lower it! That adds insult to injury! You want it to look like a Pimp mobile?

I know from personal experiance, the ride quality is ruined after going past 18". In miami of california it might pass but in the tristate area, you are going for one hell of a ride. I'm so happy I put my original wheels back on. I feel like I'm riding in heaven again.

I put my stock 17's back on and it felt so good I immediately decided that I'm gonna sell my 19's. I'm thinking of the new Sport E-class wheels or a set of E63 wheels next. It's weird because when I first put my 19's on I could've sworn the ride wasn't any different. I guess I was tricking myself into thinking that. The ride is definitely harsh with 19's. I couldn't imagine riding on 20s as a daily driver. If it's a weekend machine, go nuts. But as a daily driver, I would say no bigger than 18's

YMMV.

I AGREE 100% !

I now have staggered 20's but I used to have 19's. 20's are soo bad, 19's arn't as bad but are still bad. Having to slow down for cracks on the road and each time to go up a driveway. How do people enjoy it as a daily driver, especially those 6 series and 7 series on 22's? The car rides soo smooth with the stocks on, I will definetly change to 18s one day. I'd get the same wheels mentioned above or some OZ supperleggras that are lightweight.

I agree 100%,as well. I had 18's on my W210,and suffered,as it's my daily driver,and had to actually tiptoe thru NY,as the roads are really screwed up. I truly believe anything over 17's (which you see below) are trouble,and should make you consider buying stock in either Hankook,Falken,or Goodyear. You'll need it....

V DuBb

can we stop ragging on him for having 20s...seriously majority of the w211 drivers has 19s, and 20s. Hes not asking your person preference, just how they look on the car, and your opinion on the wheels. =) dont mean to rag on anyone lets just give him his respect

Benz-O-Rama

Nobody is ragging on him. His last statement was "Let me know what you honestly think..."

And that's what we're doing.

The truth of the matter is that 20's look great on our cars but the ride is going to suffer tremendously. Anybody that says otherwise is delusional.

hey if I end up keeping my car at the end of lease next summer you interested in doing a trade? My sport wheels for your 19s?

Benz-O-Rama

Maybe. I may end up selling them before the end of next summer though, I haven't decided yet. We'll see.
