2014 E350 Sedan 4Matic, 2011 E350 Coupe
What rims are these?
These came with our 2011 E350 C207 when I bought it 4 years ago. Absolutely love the flush look and overall stance, especially from what appears to be a stock AMG rim since the logo is forged into the metal and not a sticker like some of the knock-offs I've seen.
I also have a 2014 E350 Sedan that I picked up in December and have been on the hunt for wider and larger diameter rims for that car (stock is an 18 x 8 AMG that has got to go) so I've done a ton of research on aftermarket, knock-off, and stock rims but haven't come across the ones that came on the coupe.
They look a lot like the unique rims that came on IWC edition SL63 but that's probably just wishful thinking. Any ideas?

I would assume that you've been hearing crickets till now because the rims in your photo appear to be what is commonly referred to as the 18" AMG 5-spoke that were phased in for 207s in the 2013-14 time-frame, and are pretty common-place at this point. I have them on my E550 convertible, as well.
Given the timing of your purchase and the model year of your E, I'm guessing that the previous owner put them on, just prior to you purchasing.
Part number:
207 401 00 00 7X21 front
212 401 03 00 7X21 rear
These are pricey at the dealer, about $800-1000 a-piece new. However, many look-alikes are available in the aftermarket for much less.
The concavity of the wheel center looks to be of varying depth, depending on the photos but it's the same wheel that you'll see on many MBs. And although they are AMG-stamped and are similar to the IWC SL63 wheels (quite stunning) we know that they aren't. 1 - because the SL takes 19"s or a combo of 19/20 as OEM; and 2 - because you'll never see "AMG package" rims on an actual AMG, although many AMG package owners will attempt to convince you otherwise.
