Opinion on Wheels

Hey I am looking for some replacement wheels, not to flashy. Can't decide between 19'' or 20''.

Found these wheels on ebay, they look pretty good to me and are a good price.

figured the above wheels might not work. Found these maybe to

Found these also, not sure if they are the right offset and what not. As I am not familiar with the wheel info for the w211. If anyone can tell me what specs are best for the w211 in 19'' and 20'' rims I would much appreciate.

Anyone with 20's is the ride much different? This car is a daily driver, don't plan to lower it.

Any input is much appreciated.


Thanks

John

They look good. I'd go with the 20's. There won't be much of a difference between them and the 19's. You did read the fine print right?? It says requires spindle bolt modification.

IMHO, if you don't plan to lower the car, I'd stay with 18s. I have an E500 with the Airmatic and 20s ride surprisingly nice. I am currently not lowered but I am trying to find the time to work out the details of getting the Renntech ELM wired up.

If you are OK with the "raised" look with 20s on, then go for it. It is your car and your $ after all.
