i like the veeman option so far , I have 2 cars on 20s and one on 19s , I have no issue with the ride in any of them and the roads round here aren't exactly table tops , yes im a lil more vigilant in those cars and slightly more careful when parking but ride quality is not an issue , I still think the 207 looks better on mutli spoke wheels , like the c63 has

Multi-spoke wheels are nice but they a pain in the @rse to clean. :)

OP, I would opt for the Veemans personally, also would want a staggered set up. Ran 20" stance SC6's on my old CLS and it rode fine, even with a 25 profile on the rear.

My newer CLS is currently waiting to be fitted with 20" Vossen VFS-2 (9j front and 10j rear) which will be running 255/30 up front and 305/25 rears :eek:

Old CLS on 20" wheels with the obligatory rubber bands disguised as tyres! :D

Athstecaly they look good, but see if you can cadge a ride off someone who has 20” rims and see how the ride feels. You may be disappointed. If not go for it...

They look much better from the outside than the inside...

Still dithering, sometimes like that, then suddenly I'll pounce and order them, I have decided though it's definitely the Veemann FS-8. :D

I like big wheels :) However I think going too big can make the car look like its got tiny brakes in comparison - which is not a good look for me, I like your 19"'s perfect size for a E class. If you go 20", on your already lowered suspension, I think you might find it a step too far - but it will look COOL and you've already made your mind up - haven't you:)
