the bigger you go, the tire gets thinner, the worser the ride, the worser performance, BUT they sure look sexy!!! If you're worried about performance, time to get a sports car?

I have 20 inch rims on my s55 03. You cant really notice the difference. at first it may feel just a bit touchy, but after a few days wont even notice and you'll love the way the tires fill thewheel wells....go for it.

I have 2-piece Brabus rims on my CL500 and preetty much the same. More of a sport feeling, but I like it. No way at all would it be mistaken for rough. I know its not an S55 but feel that aftermarket rims kinda feel the same on any Mercedes. I also have 20's on my S430 and it feels the exact same.

If performance is a concern of yours, you want to go with a forged wheel, which would be lighter in wieght, plus stronger than a standard cast 20" wheel. Take a look at some of your multi piece forged options that would give you more bang for your buck than brabus.
