on such a huge body.

or 18 inch better? all thoughts are welcome

Bro, is your ride 225/55/16 ? If go for 19", what tyre size ? I have a W211 and thinking to do the same. Thanks.

might lose some comfort though! i'm contemplating going back to stock 18s after upgrading to 20s. :/

Wow, 20" rims! Wonder how my ride will look in 20" rims. Just imagining the cost of rubber is sufficient to get me off the idea.

ya, 19 inch appeals to me and better handling, just wondering if its a overkill for my 163hp engine

am thinking of BBS rims, they're heavy right?

If lightness is what you want, you can consider one of our sponsors, Top93. They carry the BC racing forged wheels. Should be about 1.2k per pc, ex tires.

Big rims will look really cool, but FC may suffer a bit.

Lighter rims is the key...

For E200 Kompressor, pick up is not exciting due to >1,500kg car weight. It is more for cruising.

Should have opted for E280...
