Why?

18" AMG alloys are superb, I wish I had some.

If you change to 20" alloys with appropriate change in tire section, then you may adversely effect ride comfort.

18" are about the best all round on a 129. 19" were used on the last of the Silver Arrows.

I'll second that, if mine were any bigger the ride would be too harsh.
