21's? 22's? 20's should be plenty good. I'm sorry but on the W211...you shouldn't go more then 20's. And I'm sure Alex or anyone can correct me but I don't think you can fit 21's let alone 22's on the W211...

I have the Modulare M3's and the Kinesis K19rs.
The car with the Maya STMs aren't mine, but they're great wheels and i'm sure it'd look nice on your car.

btw: these are all 19s and lowered with star and ELM. I'd say go with 19s so you don't lose performance, but i'm sure you don't lose that much if you don't mind. correct me if i'm wrong, please.

Star lowering is done with the factory Star Diagnostics. Not all, but some dealers can do it for you. It is not a module. They stick a plug in your car and control the voltage on your airmatic system. Unlike the Renntech module, this is not adjustable on the fly. You will be able to raise your car a lil bit with the airmatic button underneath the shifter. Other then that you cannot change the setting. Hope this helps...

I say you start off with STAR, because the height that you can lower with STAR differs for every car, i believe. It looks really good on Sun's car, however, on my car i wasn't able to lower it as much as Sun's so i also went with the Renntech ELM. Give STAR a shot first, because it is a lot cheaper! Then if you're not satisfied you can get an ELM. There are a lot of different ELMs out there, i have the Renntech Module and i like it.

i agree with going with 19's.....i don't know what it is about 20's (some members rides with 20's are without a doubt sick looking) but IMHO they just look too big on our rides but this all depends on the type of wheel you go with

either size, whether you go with 19" or 20", the car needs to be lowered pretty low IMO for the car to look good otherwise keep the stockies on it

star lowering will not lower the rear enough for an even lowered look thus i added the lowering module so i can dump the rear lower....i'm just not into the slanted look with the front looking lower but that's just me

good luck....

I agree... The car needs to be lowered with both 19's/20's.

I really would not go anything larger than 20". 21's are too big...
