I'm contemplating 20" alloys for my c207, only got one in mind, has got to be Veemann
FS-8, 20x9, ET38 with 245/30/20 tyres. Think they would look awesome!

Now I realise some of you will be horrified, but like i said i think they would look great, the c207 could easily accommodate and carry off 20s. Opinions. :)

Depends how well you want to get to know your chiropractor.....(and alloy wheel refurbers).

245s are on the narrow side for 9" rims.

You could be right there, 255s
could be the way to go.

They will go with the look you have going with your car and will compliment it :)



(I wouldn't want to drive on them as they don’t suit my driving, as I can’t see my wheels from the drivers seat the standard 16’s are good for me and my comfort). But it’s no my whip so what I’d have isn’t relevant :D

Can't find any on the c207 but you get the idea.

Look good but the rubber band tyres will do the ride no good at all. I'm on 19"s and thinking of changing to 18"s if only I could find some nice AMG wheels for a decent price.

Stunning wheel that
Agreed, I like how there's no lip on the inside of the wheel,
and the spokes go to the very edge of the wheel, like you say, stunning. :)
Plus a nice added bonus how easy will it be to clean. :D

It is a very well designed wheel and as you say will be very easy to clean

That top one of the three pics must ride like a wheelbarrow! There's virtually no sidewall!

When wheels are that big it all looks a bit "drug dealer".

"Mystic Blobcat" predicts cracked wheels in the very near future :rolleyes:

The number of times I've heard mods associated with drug dealers is comic. I'm not sure big wheels alone achieve that effect.

Mods are very personal preferences and if you want to do them I say "go ahead". Someone on here once commented on some mods I was considering by saying "the car could end up like a gypsy caravan". However, as my car is taxed/mot'd/insured and registered to me, there's no chance of that :) Smartang - 20" wheels?............what took you so long? :)
