You are dedicated thats for sure, I love the look of the 18" AMG wheel but they came standard on our car, what I mean is I didn't order them they were already on the car. Anyway for the kind of money they want retail for them I don't like them that much. In fact these wheels are so hard to keep clean from brake dust and small rocks & debris from the highway leave pits and such in them I would have found a nice simple 5-spoke aftermarket but thats me. I agree the wheels make the car, but you will be kicking yourself to keep them clean.

Ryan, unfortunately the issue of brake dust has always been with MB and most European cars because of the brake pad compound used. If you really like to keep your car and wheels clean, these are almost as easy to take care of as a regular 5 spoke design; just use a tire brush (looks like a baby bottle cleaner) give it a few strokes and you are done.

Try giving it a good wax after washing them and the brake dust doesn't stick.

The other day I saw a set of optional 18” AMG wheels and tires on E-Bay for $1700.00
