I just bought 4 AMG wheels from CalBenzo (thanks by the way!!!) and had one question for him or others out there.

I currently have the 17" Appearance Package Wheels and am going to change them to the 18" AMG wheels in a couple weeks.

1) I am pretty ignorant on this subject but do I need to get the dealer to change the speedo for the tire size difference (or is the circumference the same)?

2) Also, when you open the door of the AMG, anyone know the recommended tire pressure for the front and back? Obviously the AMG has a heavier front end.. Should this be different on the E500?

Hey Atssystems,

My pleasure. No adjustments required. The overall diameter is the same, or nearly the same, so that the hub will rotate at the same speed as the 17" wheel.

I believe tire pressures are based upon vehicle weight so they would be the same. However, I just had them 3-5 lbs higher than that recommended in the door well. I think Luke recommends something like 32 lbs front and 35 rear.

Those split-spoke wheels are hot!

Thanks for the info CalBenzo..

Hey I remember the Green Machine. I loved it.. I had the only one on my block, hehe..

I remember it would somehow get stolen and somehow my Dad would always go and find it.. Every time.
