i dont know my benz and wheels much, but im pretty sure 20" would fit but would have more problems than 19". fitment, rubbing, etc. should check out the benz forums an verify to make sure.

brabus rims are real good luxurious rims. their pretty pricey though, their kinda like the 'volks' for tuner cars.

They have some chrome wheels on http://www.newsales.com , but I would advise you to NOT order from them. I have read way too many complaints on them about sending used wheels, or second rate stuff, and then getting absolutely no service after the sale (or ripoff).

Their name used to be Salesco, so you can search for that name to find out some horror stories.

if 19s fit on a civic with a 3 inch drop then i'm sure a benz will have no problem with 22s

Reading lessons, grammar lessons and spelling lessons your you.

He doesn't want them for a Civic.

Try looking into Lowenhart and HRE (I think they make em in Chrome) also. Good chrome rims are mucho dinero. BBS also does a few models in chrome, and OZ makes a few that I don't think are chrome, but highly polished.

I'm pretty sure if the popular opinion was that Chrome was Cheesy, then every Car Manufacture would stop offering them stock. But they don't, in fact there are more cars above $25K with chrome then without...

Chrome does not Chip or Flake, What are talking about.. I had Chrome on my Probe for 4 years, I curbed one, got one seriously scratched up in a car wash, and never took them off in winter. Never Chipped or Flaked like Painted wheels will.

funny my chrome wheels flaked. It's when you buy cheap chrome wheels. Look at some of them out there.. some have a mirrored look to them, some look like they're fading. Then again I was dumb and drove them in the winter one year. Either way, I didn't buy triple plated, and I regret it.
