E450 coupe 2021 SL550 2013
19 vs 18 wheels AMG 2020 E450

I was thinking about getting an E450 coupe. The 2020 E450 coupe comes with chrome around the window framing standard. I like black, and you can get that but not without also getting AMG styling. That would be okay, but AMG styling only comes with 19" wheels. I have a problem with that. My 2013 SL550 has 19" and i've had to replace several wheels and tires after they were destroyed by inescapable potholes. First world problem, i know. I would get the car with 18" wheels if i could trade the 19s in on them, but wonder if the AMG styling creates a problem with 18"s and requires 19s to fit the AMG car. Anyone know?
thanks in advance.

I had a 2015 C400 with 19 inch wheels. Over 4 years of ownership I replaced 3 or 4 tires and cracked 1 rim. The 19 inch wheels on the C400 crashed into every pothole. I’ve had my 2019 E53 with 19 inch wheels for more than a year. The ride is much better than the C400. They handle potholes much better and I don’t dread potholes anymore. I haven’t replaced any tires yet. 19 inch wheels seem to work well on the E Coupe.

E450 4Matic Cabrio
I have 2020 E450 4Matic Cabrio with AMG styling. Came with 18” all seasons. I too have gone through innumerable wheels and tires on my previous BMW 6 series Vert. So far, no issues with the 18” Pirellis that came on my car.

I’ve had the 19” inch wheels that come with the AMG package on my 2018 E400 Coupe for more than 2 years (I purchased my car shortly after the current-generation coupe body style came out in 2017). I’ve hit several significant potholes but I have not damaged the wheels. I’ve been very happy with them.
