Anyone put 19s on their E350/550? How is the ride quality and any handling improvement?

I couldn't really tell a big difference in handling, and just a tad bumpier ride but really more road noise than anything but that could be the tires I went with.

Do you like the look better with the 19s over the stock 18s? Also what tire size do you have ... 245/35/19 and 265/30/19? thanks

There is no comparison with the looks compared to the stock 6 spoke AMG's, but IMO a person could mess up the looks of the car if they are not careful in rim selection and off-sets. For these cars you really need a good quality custom rim from a manufacturer that knows what they are doing. My rims were specifically built for the W212 and that makes a big difference in the look and fit of the rim. Yes that is my tire size as well.

Totally agree and thanks for the input
