Anyone with 20" wheels or thinking of aftermarket wheels/springs?

Ours came with 18" wheels. I think they look quite nice for factory wheels. I didn't go with the 19" AMG as I though they didn't look that much sportier over stock 18" wheels, at least to me.

Am fooling with the thought of a set of aftermarket 20" wheels/tires and a HR /Eibach lowered springs, even though this is my wife's ride

Anyone ordered the AMG 20" wheels or have 20" wheels installed? Pics? What width, offset and tire size? How is the ride?

Generally the larger wheels give a poorer ride. I've only seen one GLC on the road here and a few at the dealer and all have had the non-AMG wheels. 20" usually look pretty nice though! Love to see some pics.

The ride quality is smooth with my 20 inch AMG black wheels.
I've had plenty compliments on the choice of wheels.

Ordered the 20 inch AMG wheels... But car is like a month away. Wheels are 8.5 x 20.. Offset is 40mm and the tires will be 255/45 R20.

I'm also thinking about aftermarket wheels but may just use the AMG for a little while first

I have the factory 20 inch (non AMG) wheels.
Ride is a OK while on the black stuff but it is a little too firm for dirt roads.

You guys got pics of your car with the 20 inch rims?

Those are nice. We don't get those as an option in the US.. But I like them. So i assume they are the same ones I seen on these pictures right here that are 20:

We have the same wheels on our GLC 250 (they are standard on the 250 and 250d in Australia). Penn - I actually picked up our GLC at the same dealership, I recognise it from your photo.

Melbourne roads are not the best in the world, though also far from the worst. So far the 20" wheels are perfectly comfortable - no complaints.

E400 4matic Cabriolet
Hi FedM, what size are the Vossen wheels and tires in the picture above? Also, how is the ride on the aftermarket wheels compared to the stock wheels and tires? Is your car a 4matic? Would the wheel sizes differ for 4matics? Thanks
