The coating on my factory wheels are chipping, so in lieu of paying $185 per wheel to fix all four, I might as well pay a little more and get some sexy new wheels. I've had somewhat of hard time finding new wheels that really appeal to me. Plus, it's so hard to see a wheel and envision whether or not it will look good once it's actually on the car. I think I like these, but what do you all think?

Also, if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Nice looking wheels on the model your link showed, but not to my style or sizing. For ridability, I'm sticking to the 18" standard sport sizing for my daily driver, and most likely will be looking for a deal on some Mandrus Mannheim's matching the stock staggered setup I have from the factory as seen on this 2013 model from the Mandrus site.

Thanks for feedback. I'm going with 18" as well, just not sure about the style yet. I'm 34 years old and my MB is black on black, so I'm going for a nice classy look, nothing too "young" or "gangster," if that makes any sense. And I'm not sure the rims from the link I posted aren't either of those. I'll probably keep looking for awhile to see what's out there. If anyone has any other nice rims to suggest, let me know! If you have a any pics, event better! Thanks.

I went with 19"s and they fit perfectly on the W212 E550 (see sig). The care came with stock 18" wheels and I felt that they were a bit small for the W212 Chassis. I went with a +1 to 19" and it fits great. You can even do 20" or 21" but that might be a bit much

for my W212 I have powder coated stocks........Mandrus Manheims, HRE's R43 in black gloss and a set of plain R43.......yes, 4 sets.......
they are 18's though......

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll keep the info in mind and check out the links/info you posted. I have a feeling this is going to take me a while!

Nice choice krisxdiaz. Although, if I was "upgrading" the stock 18's, I would definetly choose a set of 19's.

Thanks, C230Brit. My car actually came with stock 17's, and although they don't look bad, I feel that they do look a little small. So my initial intention was to go +1 to 18's, or maybe even 19's if I'm able to determine somehow that even the 18's look a little small. Not sure how I'd know beforehand, though. Thanks for the feedback!

No worries - well there are plenty of E Classes out there on the road (at least in Boston!) running on 18's, which would help give you an idea.
I have (stock) 18's on mine as I said and still think it looks slightly too small. My only concern was not about the size increase, but the cost of the additional rubber on the tires, especially since the rear wheels are different sizes to the front (cannot rotate).

Good luck with your purchase when you decide and definitely post pics!

doesnt look aftermarket at all and my center caps from the stock 18"s fit perfectly as well. Drive in NYC. with the 19".
