Just committed to lease a 2012 E350W4 Sport package. In production either now or in a few days.

My order under the 321 package says 18" 5-spoke alloy wheel. But when I look at the brochure, I see a split 5 spoke wheel.

Will the car come with the 5 solid spoke wheels (which I do like) or the split 5-spoke wheels. Very confusing.

Thanks

Standard is the solid spoke wheel.

Thanks Don.

The brochure is very confusing. It refers to the split 5 spoke as part of the E350 Sport sedan. I much prefer the solid 5 spokes.

Umm...negative. The new '12s are rolling out w/ the split 5-spoke. I know because mine came w/ those and the dealer agreed to swap out '11 MY wheels (solid 5-spoke) w/ the new ones. The Operations/Inventory Manager explicitly said that the new '12s are being delivered w/ the split 5-spoke, which isn't to my liking (as evidenced in my sig--'11 MY rims! )... Hope that helps!

Appology to the OP. This appears to be true on the '12's. Mine is an '11 and the solid 5 spoke was standard on the sport.

The standard split 5 spoke on the 2012 appears to be the asymetrical one. Not to my liking either!

This is why we have Designo Wheels lol

I agree with you , pre 12 AMG 18" rims are dandier

They are lighter and that is important for wheels! Need to look for the positives.
