Maybe the first W212 on forged wheels?
In case you wondered what it would look like once the wheels were changed, here it is.
New E550 with 21×9 and 21×10 Vellano Forged VTi’ wheels. The wheels are finished with a brushed faced, polished window, and color matched accents.

FINALLY some pics of modded W212's, I'm shocked no U.S Members on this Board are owners yet, posting them up with different mods/accents etc.
Pretty tasteful mods actually IMO. What color are those cars?
The first pic of the Sedan looks nice, then the side profile looks bad IMO, not the fault of the mods, just the car I think, gives me that "Dodge Charger" or something of the sorts "cheap-y toy car" vibe.
The Coupe actually looks pretty good here to me, I'm interested to see it with more simple mod combo's and tinted tails (somethings gotta be done about those taillights, I'm wondering if Tints will help). Do you have any straight rear pics of the tinted tails on the Sedan? Curious for that same reason.

Wow, just realized those are 21's on the Sedan. Maybe that's why it looks so goofy/cheesy. IMO 19's would be as big as I'd wanna get.

Hey Duc, what was the wheel size width front and rear and tire size front and rear and offset if you know. I think the 21's might look a little to big, 20's are what I am getting for my 2010 E63 I am about to order any day now. You should also get a lowering module to slam that thing!!!

Ox wagon wheels!
These rims are way too extreme and are reminiscent of the days of the ox-wagon. 
I really don't want to know how comfortable these extreme rubber licked rims are to drive let alone how prone to failure with even the slightest notion of a pothole!

I think 20 would be the limit for size but at least these pics give us an idea of how the car looks with a nice set of wheels.
I'm digging the E-car bigtime and especially the coupe. I'm a coupe man and this car may finally bring me back to Mercedes.
