Can anybody name the specs on the AMG wheels I have on? They look staggered based on the tire sizes, so I want to know how wide the rear wheels are and the offsets on all four. I have a set of iForged wheels from my audi and I'm trying to see if I can swap them over.

In the world of German cars, I've only ever owned BMW and Audis. I crossed the chasm last week and picked up a CPO 2011 E350 and absolutely love it. Not sure why I was against buying MB before -- the car is a comfortable ride and has got the neighbors commenting.

Spent some time on mbworld the last couple days and this is an awesome community! In result of lurking the forums, I have ordered an hid kit from theretrofitsource (mine is p1), LEDs from AznOptics, and clear side markers from ebay.

Anyhow, just thought I'd throw out my first newbie hello world post and include a camera-phone photo of my E350 with her new family members:

very nice looking car John.. Can you explain how you got your picture from your phone posted..I have tried different things but have been unsuccessful...once i take the photo with an iPhone for example what do i do next...any help would be appreciated... BTW I have downloaded photo bucket at KA's suggestion and can put my photo there but don't know how to post it on mb world..I am impressed because you did it first thing and i have been on this site for a few years and still cant seem to figure it out...welcome to the site ...lots of useful info here...

John,

Very nice! Welcome. I love those AMG Type IV wheels! I'm going to try to find a set for my 4matic. Personally I like that look better than the split 6 spoke AMG's my 2010 came with.

Enjoy!

welcome noobs!!!

Here is one we just did.

Thanks Martin! Here are steps for you as it pertains to photobucket.

1. Once you've uploaded your photo to photobucket, go to the photobucket page where you can view your photo.
2. On the right hand side of the photobucket page containing your photo, you'll see an "Image Links" panel. Click in the field labeled "Direct Link" and it will automagically copy the photo URL to your computer's clipboard.
3. In the mbworld forum area where you type in your message, there is a toolbar above with an icon that looks like a mountain landscape. Click on it. Here's a screenshot of it, with the icon circled:

4. A new dialog window will appear asking for the image URL. Paste the URL from step 2 into this field. ( on Mac, it's ⌘ + v / on Windows, it's ctrl + v ).

Hope these steps work for you.




Thanks Bryan. I think the 6 spoke AMG sport package wheels also look pretty good for 'stock' wheels.

thanks John i think I have it figured out ...will try a test to see..just a photo to see if it works..hopefully the others won't be too upset with it as its my other car...

Whoa... your e550 is orange? Where can we see more photos of it?

May as well post in here too: New E350, 2 weeks old, just off the truck at the dealership before I picked it up. Will post a more recent pic soon minus snow and with tow hook cover in place

Is your star grille gloss or matte black? I've been looking for a gloss black star grille but have come across mostly matte.

jhebi

Hi there, is gloss. Wasn't going to change the grill, but when I got my rims the shop owner sold to me for $40 bucks because it was just laying around there

jhebi

Thanks

I had these wheels sitting in my garage collecting dust, so I bit the bullet & got them fixed (curb rash & bent), new tires, & H&R springs installed. Couldn't be happier. I went from feeling like "ehh" about my W212 and now I can't stop looking at it. Up next are painted side markers & a carbon fiber front lip. I'm debating on a roof spoiler. Apologies for the crappy iPhone pics.

chrisvr6

Beautiful. What wheels are those?
