These are the Carlsson Ultra Lights right? They are supposed to handle a lot better than the much heavier AMG 19" wheels. I however favour the AMG wheels for their aesthetics (I don't like wide lips on wheels, nor optically different front/rear wheels).

Depending on what you find more important (form/function) you should choose.

Or better yet, get them both and switch each month

The Carlssons (19") are supposed to be very well handling. I don't know about the 20" ones.

I have the 19" Carlssons on my E55. Love them... but I think they're better matched to a sedan than our SL's.
