Maybe I'll just get some chrome 20" aftermarket amg wheels and vinyl roof rap and fit right in with the rest of the world

This isn't "unique" VS "fitting in" my friend. I could lather myself in fecal cologne and claim to be the "most interestingly original man in the world" 
. Quality is quality, and nice is nice, and tasteful is tasteful. It's almost offensive to the brand to see a Benz with Bentley wheels, as it implies that the Benz is a "poor mans" something. Kinda like when you see Nissans and the like with Benz grills fabricated in.
Not to mention, the design of those wheels doesn't fit your car. Firstly, they're of a much older design than the E-Class, so your downgrading your cars looks right there. Secondly, they fit with the more bulbous, and very British-ly elegant Bentley look. They don't compliment the E's very angular and more aggressively cut cubic design, and the E doesn't compliment them either, as they look more classically Luxurious than the W212's design does.... In fact, they actually make the E look a little utilitarian.
You could say that I'm preaching for you best interest, just "tryin' to change the world, one MBWorld post at a time".

I'll give you that your stance is amazing though, and the wheels fit perfectly flush with the car, and don't pop out at all to give it that tacky "on spacerzz" look.

They have a, stand out while not standing out type of look. Can't really say an OEM style
but kudos to you for individuality. When people use rims from a different brand on their car's I don't look at it as impersonating or demoting the brand of the car they are mounted on, if it looks good just appreciate the wheel itself. Hell you can run Hyundai rims on a Merc, or Rolls Royce rims on a Lexus (JUST for EXAMPLE purposes only guys) if they look good. Anyways, hope I can make it to the meet out here on LI sometime.
