Just picked up a 2012 E350 with Sport Pkge. I was under the impression that the sport rims where like the ones in the 2011 (the 18in 5 Spokes)

apparently the new sport rims look like the E350 Luxury 17 in rims but in 18inches!!!


anyone else disappointed

Congrats on the purchase and I didn't know that they changed the wheels. Post some pics of the car!

Glad I got the AMG's now.

Asymetric 5 spokes. They look much better in person than on pictures.

are these the new Sport Rims for all the 2012 E 350's? My dealer said they dont offer the 2011 Sport rims...either way, it doesnt look bad just not what i expected...itll grow on me...regardless I got a steal of a deal so im not complaining...

CEB

Yes, those are the Sport pack wheels.

How are you finding the ride quality? There have been a lot of complaints about the sport ride.

K-A

Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I saw those. Not very nice with the Sport Package. Nice for the Luxury Package though.

yeah, I'd be disappointed......with those......
next years 63's have 10 spokers.....didn't realize that either

If you go onto the MBUSA website and "build" a E350 sport, you will see that the 5 split spoke wheels are available as an add-on to the sport model. It is called a "Wheel Package" and costs $760.00. It appears to include a steering wheel similar to a C63.

Wheel Package

$760
Remove

• 18-inch AMG twin 5-spoke alloy wheels
• 3-spoke sport steering wheel

What is the "steal of a deal" you got? I have a deposit down on a 2012 but holding out for a better deal...

MCF

$760 is a steal for those wheels. Try to buy them past purchase and it's....oh about $4000 for the set. Never thought I would say this but I like the 17" luxury wheels over the 2012 sport wheels. But I Never like anything asymmetric.

K-A

Big time agreed on the asymmetric. Throws everything off.

I have to say I like the new wheels. Saw them at the dealer the other day and I think they work on the car. They are not the same as the luxury as those got a new 17" design this year as well. The optional "wheel package" wheels are the same as last year.

hyperion667

if those wheels are 750, there has to be a reason why......

bigigg

I just purchased a E350 with sport package and i dont have those wheels, came with solid 5 spoke 18"

CorvetteOJ

Yes, they were an option on my 2011 E 350, exactly as pictured above for $760. That was the price on the window sticker and did include the sport steering wheel from the AMG models. I didn't like them gray although the wheel itself looked fantastic. I did a core swap with California Chrome Wheel for the same wheel chromed. They looked absolutely fantastic on my new Capri blue sedan.

2011 or 2012?

CEB

If he got the solid wheels in Sport then it was a 2011

K-A

I think the solid wheels are still available on the 2012's, but they just have a wider variety of available wheels now.
