When I bought my E a couple months back I was trying to negotiate those wheels in the deal, 19" off the SL amg, with appropriate size tires, you can get them with a solid or hollow 5 star, they wanted a cool $12,000, nice, but not that nice

Those are 18" E63 wheels. I'm not sure if they are OEM or replicas. Here's my 06 E350 with 19" E63 reps, perfect fit. I installed CLS55/E55 AMG brakes and they still fit. I'm selling mine soon if anybody is interested.

BTW the stock E-class brakes looks fine behind whats now considered to be normal on a mid size car 19" wheels.

19" rims on an E class look great but the brakes are pretty well proportioned. I had factory 20" rims on my BMW 750 and I thought they looked good as well but they really didn't drive as well as the 18" vanilla ones that were standard equipment.
Benz, BMW, Porsche, C6Z06 and others all have very good looking big wheel packages although it's arguable if it improves function.
The chrome 22"r's on an Escalade strike me as clueless. To each his own.

Wheel fashion learned on MTV and transfered to a truck or car looks idiotic IMO. It adds weight in the wrong place, limits tire selection in most cases, usually make the car follow ruts like a trolly, and just plain looks stupid when you have 22" rims and rotors the size of a desert plate. Bonus points for spinners.

All that is well and fine it was just the drug dealer comment that took me by surprise that a set of wheels can be classified as owned by a person that recieves income from illegal practices like drugs. I thought they were just called wheels no matter how ugly or blingy they are still just called wheels. Just my .02

Always found it annoyign when some categorize all "bling" rims as drug dealer rims. The bling factor is in no way going to hurt the performance of the vehicle 
But to each its own.
