Wheels?

Thinking of getting some new wheels for the Lady in Red. Please share recommendations, pics, etc. Also thinking of going with 18 or 19 inch wheels, although I don’t want to confuse or disrupt the relatively primitive traction control, speedometer, etc. Here’s of pic of the car as it is now:

Thanks a lot, j944. Found it in Palm Springs about 2 months ago. 26k miles!

I think the OEM E55 wheels (from the W211 chassis) look great on this car. I had a set on mine for a while.

Can someone clear something up for me? Are the W211 monoblocks 17's or 18's??? If they're 17's, what came with the 18's? Asking because I've seen them and I know they're wider, which is why I'm asking so I can find a set that fits. Sorry for the hijack OP.

The W211 E55’s cane with 18” wheels, but I’m not exactly what you mean by monoblock. I’ve always thought that term referred to the W210 wheels, which I believe were 17”.

Can you link to a picture of the wheels you’re talking about?

I was having a blonde moment. I was thinking W210 although you had W211 in your post. The W210 E55 AMG wheels are what I meant. My W208 CLK55 didn't come with the original wheels. I know they were 17's, but Im looking for the Monoblock Aero II's in 18's. I'm just curious what chassis they were installed on.
