Is 22 inches too big??

Thinking about going 22 inches for my 2006 R 350. Got my eyes on a set of AMG wheels (ml 63). Worried about how the wheels might affect the ride though. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen it our here in NY, but they look doofy.

Did not know there was an OEM ML63 wheel in 22's.

Doofy huh! Lol! I think the R can handle it. It's a pretty big car. I've seen a couple and it didn't look bad at all.

I did 20's on the R500, they look and ride great. 22's, if you do what aspect for the tires? It may be rough...
