help needed please urgent

hi guys and heelo from uk this is my first time posting on this wonderfull site,have just bought a new sl55 and a 3 year old ml55 with only 10k on it and boy its good to be back to amg after 3 year gap,my question is the wheelson the sl are shocking to clean as there style 5 multi spoke wheels,so iam considering putting on a set of either 18" or 19" style 3 wheels which are 5 spoke and easy to clean which would you recommend.Iam concerned that the ride quality and handling will be affected if i fit the 19" also the gap between the arches might be more with the 19",any help or advice would be appreciated as the shop is holding on to two sets of wheels for me while i make my mind up and i dont want to make a mistake.Thanks guys for taking the time to read my thread.

cheers simon uk

I have a set of the 19" AMG multipiece wheels. They are great, and so is the handling.
