New 19 inch 5 twin spoke aero wheels

Does anyone like the design of the new 19 inch 5 twin spoke aero wheels with the ring around the inside ? I find them strange and too complicated . At least with the bi-color wheels the ring isn't so noticeable. Am I the only one who is not liking them ,or is it a case of getting used to them ? The only other wheel choice is 18 inch or 20 inch, neither of which appeal to me ,

I don’t like them either but the ring is much less noticeable with the black accents. It didn’t stop me from ordering though. Assuming the MY22s actually get built!

I ordered an E450 cabrio in April with these wheels and having seen them in person ,as you say , the black accents make them acceptable and in a way rather special . Just surprised that nobody else on these forums commented on them . I presume you're joking about the possibility of them not being built ?

Not joking at all based on the current state of affairs

I do not like the look with the ring. I ordered these instead. They look MUCH better IMHO.

This is getting complicated . My order was originally for the RUG 10 spoke wheels like the new RRD 10 spoke wheels ,but dealer said will probably have to get the twin 5 spoke because the new RRDs come with performance tires and I wanted the all seasons which came with the RUG wheels . Anyway I'm in Canada so what ever comes I'll just be happy to get the car !

Tires are easier to swap out than rims. I’d say, get the rims you like, then switch tires to all season in winter and use the performance tires in summer.

I received a copy of the Canadian DOG for the 2022 E Cabriolet and apart from a few minor changes from the 2021 model , the significant change for me was the wheels . Now the 18 inch wheels are no longer available and the 19 inch 10 spoke wheels are available as a choice to replace the 19 inch 5 twin spoke aero wheels . They are designated RUG similar to the RRD , but for 8J all round . So I'm happy that I'II get the wheels I want with all season tires . The other interesting change this model year is the replacement of the ' Designo ' name with ' MANUFAKTUR ' !
