AMG monoblock II

Hi to all,

Newbie to the site. Would like to install chrome 18" or 19" AMG monoblock II on 2005 E320. Is that possible or should I all together consider something else? Thanks in advance.

HAve you seen the standard wheel on the 2006 E350?
I thought it was the same wheel as the e320, then it got changed and they are nice. To me they look better than AMG, sports package, or premium package wheel.

I'm not a fan of AMG wheels . They tend to be monstrously expensive and hugely heavy. For example, my BBS RS-GT 18x8" wheels weigh c. 20# each. An AMG 19x8.5 weighs 35.3#. This is an obscene difference, and the very last place you want more weight.

Suggest you do some research on www.tirerack.com if you haven't done so already.

Good luck.

I have 18" AMG Mono in the garage right now. I took them off my 2002 E320 SE before trade in. They will not fit exactly on the w211. Bolts are different and so is the shank. I did lay them up in there and I don't think they look as good as my stock E350 wheels for that body. The W210 is more... musuclar looking as it is more square. The W211 is more aerodynamic looking and sleek. The new E55 wheels, CLK 500 18s look really nice... on W211 body.

BBS LM are IMHO, one of the nicest wheels out for the W211 body... However, they run about $650 + each... more money than I want my wife to scrape on a curb....
