New Wheels

I was able to get a mint set of 19" HRE 891R for a spare set. Got tired of driving around with the big 20s. What do you guys think? Stick with the Iforged Aeros or the black HRE's

Your I-forged look 33454364543 times better....for some reason the HRE's look tiny for 19's....maybe it's because it's all black. They aren't ugly...but next to the Iforged wheels they pale considerably.

I like both looks, but the black rims needs a pin stripe to break up all the black.

IForged, in 19"

I think the black wheels cheapen the look of the car.

I love the silver wheels. Not a fan of the black ones. But I would take them with snow tires on them for my area in the winter...although 14 inchers would be better for that, haha

Wish my dog would just sit there like that on my driveway! Having a calm dog must be nice.

Beautiful car for starters.

Cute dog too.

No comparison - ditch the black wheels.

I'm assuming you have driven the new E63 W212. Which one did you like better? M or AMG?

I prefer the look of the silver wheels but do not like the large size. If it were an option, I would have the silver or chrome in 18 or 19. But I'm old fashioned.
