'06 E-class wheel changes?

I was looking at the specs for the E-class on mbusa and I noticed that the wheels for the 350 and 500 have changed.The 350 now has the 500's standard 17's and the 500 has the appearance package 17's.The poorly done photoshopped specs and photo page pics also show this. Seems kind of screwy, doesnt it? The E500 still has the appearance package as an option,yet it comes standard with the wheels, and the 350's tires are taller and skinnier than they were on the 500 at 225/55-17 ,which also makes them nearly an inch bigger in diameter than the previous 225/55-16's. Kind of a weird change to me....

a bit upsetting too since I bought an '05 and and '06 (320/350) and both came with the 16".. I must have just missed that.. but at least they came with entry assist, and a few other things they seemed to have removed like drive dynamic seats.

I was at Autohaus Pompano yesterday and the 350 Sports had 18" 5 star type AMG wheels on them. They were AWESOME!
