.... nothing to brag about, it is a previous model....
Sorry, it must be too early for me, but what's the styling different between E63 rim and the first photo of dacollector' rim other than E63 rim's center of wheel spoke been painted?
I remember late 80s, people love that "AMG I" styling w/ Fat spoke and those who use BWM thin 5 spoke style rim on their Mercedes will be criticized upon. (Even till today, I still like the "more cover up" 5 spoke which give more conservative and cleaner look - hmm...this must be personal things, I found air-hostess more attractive than Hooters girl? )
Is it truely better looking or is it AMG hypnosis or power of advertising?
Benz-o-rama, sorry to borrow your beautiful car.
and let's paint the first one, shall we? BTW, if one is going to use larger thin spoke rim, I think he/she should also upgrade his/her Disc and Caliber to larger AMG. Otherwise, it looks kinda .. empty.

I like the wheels on this E63, but I have no idea what wheels they are, etc...

Maybe it is just "over populated" even w/ every car manufactures and we don't think it looks good anymore?
If you are as old as me, maybe you remember first gen 5-spoke AMG wheel? Don't you think they looks much like current AMG wheel, speically onnewer 2008 GL550?

CLS AMG ... I like the offset as it is about 5mm wider than an E AMG .. on my E500, the calipers do not look as nice as the AMG cars or even some of the new E series.. if you use the 63 wheels.. it will expose it even more...
