I don't know if I should increase the size of the wheels. I currently have the factory 19's on my 215 CL65 which I think look great but they are in average condition. I was thinking of getting new wheels but don't know if I should step up to a 20" wheel... What do you guys think? Why did some of you go with 20's?

Aesthetically, I think that 20s are better.

20" if you have great roads and never ever put replicas on a CL65, or make sure they the proper weighting per axle.

Enjoy.

I agree there.

I would never put replica's on my car. They will be a set of high end wheels.

The road's over here suck with massive potholes. That's what scares me going with a set of 20" wheels. Besides there are more tire options for the 19's especially for the rear. I want to put a set of 305's back there.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Depending on the offset of the wheel, you can get a 20x11" wheel with 305/25 tire on the rears.

+1. That car is huge and 19" looks too small on it.
