2013 E350 Sport Finished...

I just picked up a 2013 E350 a little over a month ago and finally finished it today. Basically, I just wanted to add my touch to it without going over the top. My goal was to keep it clean and classy, but with a touch of individuality. I still like to maintain a professional image for the industry i'm in. That being said, in my opinion, I think I may have gone too far with the wheels and should have chose something a little more OEMish, maybe something without a lip, but oh well, I think it doesn't look bad.

Here's what I did...I took these with my iPhone and will take better photos hopefully tomorrow...

- AMG Rear Spoiler
- Debadged
- Flat Hood Badge
- H&R Sport Springs
- Euro-26 Wheels 19x8.5/9.5 42/48mm (Thanks 323MS)
- Nitto Invo 255/35/19 F / 285/30/19 R (Comfy)
- Tinted Windows 20% Rear / 35% Front

Thanks. That's the wife's GL in matching Paladium Silver. Since we have matching colors, I almost bought 2 sets and got her the Euro-26's as well in 22's so we could have a matching set, but figured I would see how they'd look on my car first. I haven't been able to locate any photos of a GL with these wheels so maybe I'll be the first.

awww...that's so sweet and cute! your wife will love you that much more but she might not even notice as most ladies don't care much about cars . a friend of mine told me his friend's wife also has a w212 but she has never changed oil nor done anything to the car during the 3-yr lease period . she has just leased another one not too long ago .

Seriously poor car

Well, I must say I like your wheels too , very nicely shaped and not garish to ruin overall look of this lovely colored W212

They ride well. Definitely different, but not too much different. A little rocky not as in rough, but where the car rocks a bit over dips and bumps.
Hard to explain. Funny thing is that afte putting on the wheels and tires it's better than with the stock wheels.

Wow, the drop is absolutely perfect. Reveal at both the front and rear looks exactly the same. If you decide the wheels are just too much....I will be glad to trade my stockers. I will even pay shipping..... Looks great SAM. I just got my 2013 about a month ago and love it... Enjoy.

I know this thread is old but I'm thinking about purchasing these rims for my 2010 E550. Did you use any spacers for these? The offset seems kind of high, that's why I'm asking.
