I like the style, but think about the ride and especially the road noise with a 20" rim.

The style would work with the car, but I'm boring, I just like 5-Spokes.

As for the 20" thing, I'm gonna get a bit "preachy", but my feeling is, why spend so much money on a car designed for *comfort* over all else, and throw off all the engineering that went into quietness, balance, and serenity, by putting on 20" wheels? If you want that kinda ride, IMO, just get a car that is engineered for that ride, so you're not essentially "wasting your money", as I see it. On top of that, I think 20"'ers are slightly big for an E, I personally think 19" is the perfect fit, and 18" the best balance of size & comfort.

That's my soap-box.

I love that wheel and I love 20s on this car I'm also a 5 spoke man but those look good,I think 18s look too small on this car
