Finally Ordered Wheels!
After much procrastination and deliberation I finally ordered a set for my Bluetec. I will post when I get them mounted.
Lets just say that although seemingly not rare the only set I've seen on a W212 was on an Austria website! Feel free to try and guess if you'd like

I did go 20's. Have 17" runflats so I'm hoping they ride about the same. Had 20's on my XKR and also have them on my 997TT on coil overs. Figure 20" on this W212 can't feel too bad.

You're in for a rude awakening if you think the 20s will feel anything like the 17's. 18's to 20's isn't a huge difference in feel, but 17 to 20 will definitely be a noticeable difference. Not a big deal if you don't mind the sportier ride.

I certainly understand the difference between 17 and 20! But this won't be regular 17 to 20. Runflats are notoriously harsh due to hard sidewall. There IS a chance they are a wash. This car isn't butter smooth like other E's I've driven due to the runflats.
Unless you have personally moved from 17" to 20" I'll assume your guess is as good as mine ;-). Has anyone actually felt this difference on a Bluetec?
