20 inch gfg lagunas

Fellow s550 owners, i really want to give my Iridium Silver S550 some new SHOES (RIMS) Thinking about 20 inch Chrome GFG Lagunas. I feel 22 inch is way to big, and will take away from the handling and ride. I know 20's are not that much better. But Im young and need to spice this car up a little. Just tinted with 35% tint.

any other ideas?

I have had two sets of gfg rims. I have the beverly hills 20" on my sl55 and i just took of the Klessics(sp) 20" off my s550 i will never ever by another set of gfg wheels, they are very weak and if you bend them which you most likely will they take forever to replace. When i bent my klessics(sp) I was without a rim for about 2 months I am changing over my SL55 rims now.

If you are looking at that pic then 20" is not going t do it for you aesthetically. That pic is 22'. if you want to maintain ride quality and also fill up the wheelwell better than 20" I would go for 21"

here is a pic of a BRABUS w221 with ZONE 21" wheels. ZONE has 21" 3pc applications gearing up and will be ready soon

Feel free to contact us for more info on wheels for your car

I put 22" hre on mine and it still rides great. Now i won't go flying over railroad tracks or looking for potholes but they have held up thus far and i feel the ride is still really good and they fill up that wheel well really nicely. The reason i went with hre's was because if i did bend them they can get me a new hoop within a couple of days.
