Do you likey? (Chrome 20's)
I'm not keeping them...they were sitting in the showroom & i thought i'd try them out for a few weeks while i wait for my new wheels.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
IMO, there's nothing wrong with chrome rims on white MBs. As a matter of fact I have chrome 20s on my white W212 (not my first choice, but its a different story...).
Having said that, these specific wheels I do not like (regardless of finish) - they look too aftermarket, too generic for MB.

I think it looks badass. I'm not into chrome, but that settup looks great. The whole car looks great in general. Is it lowered also, and if so, how?

Your car looks incredibly gorgeous, but those wheels look like cheap gaudy sh** IMO, not just the chrome, but the design.... and the design working with the chrome. Not a good look, IMO.

lol. I agree with everyone that they are the wrong choice for my car. I borrowed them for a few weeks from the showroom until my "REAL'' wheels come in. Driving around on dry pavement with studded snow tires was driving me crazy.
I am super excited to get my new ones...it's something nobody has seen yet!!!

I'll be the first. I think it looks good 
I'm a chrome person. I had chrome 22's on my GLK. I'm not going to change the wheels one the E, even though they are a bi*ch to clean. a lot of corners and crevices.

My 2010 E had the standard flat faced 5-Spoke sport wheels. Not as dynamic of a look, but they were the easiest wheels to clean. Almost makes them worth it alone. Lol.

I heard there were issues with SDS, that the car returns to its original height. Apparently this isn't the case. I wish dealers would offer this service. Drop looks good though.

No issue. I had it done over a month ago. Read the sticky thread on the W211AMG forum titled: Star Diagnostics How To. Print off those instructions. If your tech can use SDS, it's really quite simple to do.
