Those are nice and would probably look good on the Silver.
That being said, i may be in the minority but I actually like the AMG wheels better.
Just my humble 2 cents.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I were you I'd get a set of these ADV1s. Not sure what model/type they are...

https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/...e-adv-1-a.html

If I didn't already have my wheels, I would probably get these sick wheels. I'm sure they probably have different finishes including a brushed which would be sick on the iridium...

Why? OEM factory option is 19s with 255/35 & 285/30 - pleanty of rubber IMO.

threeMB's:
I just like the 18's man, less chances of damage...not to mention ride quality....
and plus the cost of 18's and 18 inch wheels is slightly less than the 19's.....
I do see you have two cars with 20's and two with 19's! wow!
should change the name to fourMB's, hehe.....

I actually do like the stockers that came on the car (18's), but I really would like to have some concave wheels because I think they look so good....even though the above picture is not...

choices choices.........
http://www.carid.com/advanceone-whee...1-5-95165.html

how about these?

You got an AMG and you are worried about saving $100.00 total on rubber?

You won't feel the difference between the 18's and 19's.

But if you had to choose between your stockers and the Wilhelms, stay with the stockers.

We are both looking for some con caves. If I had a 63, I def would step it p to some hre or adv1 wheels, but they are super expensive, talking like 4500 with tires.

With E63 and E550, I won't accept this answer.

Two of the sponsors here, run HRE specials (you can't shoose what you want, only what's available). One offers (or did) great deals on 1pc for around $2,600 + shipping, an other - an unbelivable $2,500 shipped on 3pc!!!

haha!!! 3??
wow.....seriously?
do you shop at one tire place or spread it around a little?
that is some serious tire stock....
I was just sitting here looking at wheels, and wow is
it next to impossible to shop for them online.......

and are you talking about speed and performance with 19's and 20's?
cost isn't the issue entirely, but yeah, it's a weak excuse.....after all this is America......lol.....
for some reason I have it in my head that 18's are the limit for me...
I did drive a 63 that had 19's.....and honestly I could not really tell that much....
some sort of personal stigma I suppose......

you're totally right, it wasn't like I could make out the huge difference I have in my mind..., and yeah, not the 100 bux...
and yeah, when I look at the concaves, the wilhelms look kind of weak...but then again, if I went to 19's or 20's vossen has some retardedly nice things too

I'll be in the minority on this but think the stocker's look good as is. Understand the need / want to modify but you car looks killer as is. I'd tint the windows and drive it till my smile faded or the wheels fall off!

Great looking car and envious of your ability have BOTH! Your wife must be very understanding.

Well, it may not sound believable to you, but one of the reasons I went with 20s on 550 coupe (the other was I finally got the look I wanted from day one) was I actually wanted to "slow it down a bit".

With E63, I would put the heaviest 19s I could find and also add a hatch with a nice speed boat. Just kidding of course.

I feel no ride quality difference with 18s vs 19s on any of my cars. 19s will certainly make cornering and road holding even better on E63.

On W212 E350 I have "same" 19" wheels as EmE247 above. Except his are real AMGs with "AMG" engraving and my are replicas, but look the same (to me at least, except of course replicas do not have "AMG" engraving).
Love these wheels (both real and replicas) and how they look on any MB.
