Oh here it goes. I need your opinions. I have a 09 e350 sport on irridum silver with the 18 x 8.5" painted AMG wheels. 2 rims need curb rash repairs. My dilemma is what to do. Do i :

1- fix them at 125.00 each
2- fix them and repaint or powdercoat all of them darker so not as much silver
3- go with the 9" wide for the rears for the staggered look
4- change to a different mercedes wheel
5- go to a 19"
6- go to a all black or a combo of black and machined face

please let me know, thanks everyone.

Not really into 2-6. It's a 2009. How much longer are you going to keep it? Just do #1 and get them fixed. They seem to be worth around $300-$400 on eBay so doing anything to them basically ruins them.

Im not sure on how long im gonna keep it. Unless i get a smokin deal on an e63 im probably gonna have it for a while. Its in near perfect cond. Im still not sure what way i was going to go on the wheels. I was just looking to seperate the benz from others. I will still see what others think( i hope others respond).

thanks for your input.

Wheels are very subjective, get what you like.

One thing to think about with going staggered is you can no longer rotate the wheels. You'll be going through tires faster then. Also go with at least a 9.5" on the rear if you do go that route.

Just change the wheels you can get a set for the same price of repairing..Im changing my original 18inch amg wheels for something different. Keeping the car long term or not is not really a question as you still own the wheels and small price to small price to pay to give your car a little refresh. So I would recommend getting a set of replica amg wheels 8.5 & 9.5, 18 or 19. Personally, I would stick with 18, they seem to fill the wheel gap decently on w211 and more options for tires.
