Max's 20's are nice and classy. I have seen several that are and after talking with my SA today some, he advised me that 30 series and above aspect would give a better ride as well. 25's, yes I would feel more bangs in the road and run more of a risk of banging a lip.
Atlanta doesn't have huge potholes much, but again my question which I am getting several answers from different source was could my CLS take up to 35 series aspect tires in the rear.
Most of the 20's I see for sale are plain, not attractive designs, or too "niche" being all black, etc. I guess it also boils down to preference as well.

That is the question I have. I have been on the fence with 20's due to issues I keep hearing about on quality, 3pc vs 1 pc, and of course the tire size.
On the quallity, I pretty much am looking at Vossen's now. I am going with the 1 pc. I can't justify the cost increase for the 3 pc. Yeah I know the debate on it, but after talking with many wheel shops, etc. I think I am cool with the 1pc. Any more input on this, cool.
I was interested in the AMG 2 pc, but now I see several people posting that they have developed hairline cracks in them.
Now, on the last issue. Tire aspect size, now I want to run at least 30, on the rear not 25's on my CLS. 25's are just too damn low for me. From what I am hearing 30's would fit just fine on the CLS for the rear. I would imagine I could run 30 or 35 on the front. If you know more info on this, let me know. I am looking to pull the trigger in about 1-2 weeks from now.
Now that I see this debate on 20's being only bling, etc, some 20's, are rather nice looking and not "blingy". My R has 20's on her and handles great. Most of friends that have 20's say the car actually handles better with 20's. One I really talked with has a CLS55 with Asanti 20's on it, and he was fine with it. Except for those damn 25 aspect on the rear. LOL.

The reason I am selling my wheels is not because of performance issues or anything else. I just found a set of wheels that I like more than the ones I got. If anyone is interested in my Gianelle Santorini 20's PM me. Purchased in late August, put under 1,500miles on them. Pics are in my signature.
