Wow...really surprised that no one with an E350 or E550 luxury has replaced their wheels. Both luxury models come with the same 17x8 wheels.

I would assume anyone buying the luxury model is not interested in 18' wheels otherwise they would have bought the sport package at no extra cost.

Some, like myself, prefer the four traditional round lights in front and don't like the extra plastic molding of the sport. A lot easier to swap wheels than trying to change complete front end for different lights, etc. etc.

Bingo! I have a luxury model and no interest in the larger wheels. And what would I do with the original wheels/tires? Sell them at a loss I suppose

17" wheels and tires arnt worth that much, but would use them for some credit if I came across some 18" OEM wheels at a wheel shop that someone traded for some aftermarket wheels.

I was under the impression that the round lights came with the P1 package and the hockey stick lights came with P2. Luxury or sport did not matter.

Nope. New Sport P1 comes with hockey lights. ONLY Luxury P1 now has four round lights up front now.
