Opinion: 20 vs 21" wheels?

Hi Gang

I'm getting a new 2009 ML63 next Spring and it has the option of 21" wheels vs the standard 20". I understand that my current 20" snowtires/wheel combo will fit just fine... SO any of you drivers with 21" wheels, I turn to you for advice...go for the 20 or 21? Downsides of the 21"?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

I suppose the only downside is the sidewalls are low profile so I will make sure to keep tire pressures up and try to avoid the biggest potholes.

Did you take delivery yet? If so, would you please post a few good pics of the wheels? The dealer sent me email copies of the ordering guide, but the resolution is not the best..

Thanks again!

Ahhhh, yes, now I see! Perfect! They remind me of the 030 wheels for the CL/SL.....perfect look!

Thanks!
