Need help with wheels and tires on FLE AMG 53

I really like the two 22" options but do not want to deal with having to replace these every 12-15K miles. Plus where I will be driving roads are not the best so rims will suffer.
None of the other choices are very attractive in either 20s or 21s.

1. Are the 20s too small for this car?

2. One of the 21 options does not allow to add the AMG night package. Does anyone know if on the MY22 build you can "override" this and get this as a stand alone option not tied to any wheels?

Thanks in advance.

Your only other option is to get Aftermarket tires & wheels & set the Factory aside until you sell. I have the 21’s and with the wider tires (12” rear) they seem to offer a decent amount of protection. Based on very little wear at 8k they should be good for 20-25k. I don’t push mine to the wear strips since a lot of my driving is Highway speeds of 80+.

Things might have changed, but it used to be that you could get 21s with or without the night package. You just had to accept the darker wheel with the night package.
That's what I have.
