Upgraded To Newer E-Class

So I got rid of my 1998 E320 and Bought a 2003 E500 Sport
I am still debating if I want to keep the 20's on

Looking...
My 20's

03 e320 - The only size to go . 20 inches . What is there to debate? You wanna get rims smaller than 20 inches that aren't as pimpin? Doesn't make much sense to me? They're definitely not as practical but being fashionable isn't always gonna be the most practical thing.

Too big and mismatched with the car IMO. The E just doesn't work with 20's I think, definitely looks too truck-like in its stance with the stock ride height too.

I actually want to lower it but with 20's might be too big. I want a nice set of Iforged wheels or dpe wheels in 19's. Maybe 18's in amg trim.
