Ride quality on 18" vs 19" rims

anyone have any experience with comparing the ride quality on the 18" vs the 19" rims? while i do like the styling of the AMG packages, not sure i want to ride on the larger rims, especially not the 20"s. will dealer's swap out the rims on a vehicle that's listed in inventory with a certain set of rims (to a smaller size)?

I guess a complementary question is if I get the ADS suspension, should i even be worrying about the difference between the two rim sizes (since i could tailor the ride somewhat)?

as an aside, the lack of filter search terms on the MB website is aggravating. its like some random assortment of options chosen from a hat. shouldn't i be able to search for vehicles with a third row seat?

I would be very surprised if the ride between the 18” and 19” rims was even perceptible; probably a tiny bit at best.

I replaced mine from 18 to 19" ( Not 20" as I planned because was afraid it would be very stiff). I could not notice any difference at all same as the original 18" ..I replaced the same MOE tires but 19" runflat.

No more MB:(
18 to 19 probably not noticeable. 20 definitely a difference, especially if you drive in or around city streets.
