Wheel And Tire Upgrades
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON POSSIBLE WHEEL UPGRADES THAT WOULD MAKE THE E500 LOOK A LITTLE MORE SPORTY AND AGRESSSIVE?
BUT STILL LOOK CLASSY. AND WHAT SIZE WOULD YOU GUYS DO? THANKS

If you go to mercedes-benz.com and select the Italian site, they have a great build you own section where you can change both the color and wheels on a large photo of the car to get a better sense of what it will look like. In the lower right of that page is a link that gives a blow up of all wheel options with specs that they sell.
BTW, does anyone have any advice re upgrading the wheels that come standard from the dealer? I've got an E320 on order but plan to either go with some type of 17" or 18" AMG wheel or the 5-spoke ones that come with the E500. In effect, I will be trading in my unused rims and wheels which will be credited towards the new set. How much do these things typically run? The dealer is going to give me a $500 credit toward whatever I choose and I'm guessing it will cost another $1500 to $2000. Since I am getting this credit and don't know how else to trade in unused wheels (once I drive home they won't be unused) I'm thinking of going through the dealer for this. I also want to make sure they are sized properly including brake clearances.
