Help with Winter Wheels for GLE63 (new ML63)

Hey Gents, I am having a hard time tracking down a set of 20" wheels for winter. I am not paying $5,000 for dealer ones. Nope .

In the Owners manual it says: "9J x 20 ET 57" for winter wheel set. However, I can not seem to translate that to find any wheels options. offset of 57 is 2.25" about. I am only seeing 9x20 wheels with different off sets etc.

Has anyone found a good 20" winter wheel set up for the GLE 63? Thanks

I went with the dealer option but have since seen aftermarket clones of this wheel..where are you located?

Your ML is beautiful Nanook! I havent had any luck finding winters for the GLE 63.

Does anyone know if I can use 20 x 9.5 instead of these?: BA: 9.0 J x 20 H2 Wheel offset: 1.61 in (41 mm). It seems the ML63 had 9.5 but the GLE winters are 9s. I know little about wheel swapping...

I would try to find a 8.5x20 rim et 45 on it then use 265 tires on it. HINT, GLK has these rims as standard. Tires will be almost flush with the fender.
