20's for the 500 SEL
I have a 1984 Mercedes 500 SEL that I am considering installing some 20 inch rims on. Are there any cons to doing this?

20 inch rims are $$$. You have to have low profile tires which means if you live in an area with potholes or roads that are not perfectly paved...good luck.
Another thing is tire wear, 20 inch tires normally dont last longer than about 20K....so that involves changing them more often which is costly. But......on the other hand.....they do look good.

Swank500, WELCOME ! ! !
20" wheels would look good (pro), just don't come to Houston because our freeways and roads suck ! (con) they will ruin your new wheels. Why don't you put 18s instead and worry a lot less about potholes?
