19" or 20" AMG's ?

I am ordering S550 and wanted to know if i chose the 20" over the 19" would the quality of the ride differ in any way ?

CL500 and ML55
Taller sidewall (19") would have a more compliant ride.
Shorter sidewall (20") would have a sportier ride and may handle better in the corners from less sidewall flex.

If you want a luxury car ride go with the 19's...

i have to believe the suspension on an s class will more than compensate for any loss in the sidewall... 20's will LOOK much better, that's for sure!
