Not a lot of 21s to my knowledge. Seems to me 19s or maybe 20s with an electronic lowering module is the best option.

pretty sure if those are amgfan’s old ccw wheels, they are on my car now, I’m running 305 25 20 on the backs, but interested if others have a size that fits and is in production. Michelin doesn’t have a great selection in the 305 25 20 and I ended up with a nitto invo that I don’t care for, they didn’t balance well, ride hard and don’t hook up real well.

I still like the CLK63 Black Series wheels on my SL55. They are a pain in the butt to keep clean but then my car is black so I’m used to that.
