2012 E350
Yes sold the E350 roughly two months into ownership. I could not get myself to like the interior and the performance from the V6. As most can tell this was a 2011, model year 2012 got a interior, information screen update and engine update. Looking back at these pictures reminds me of why I bought the car, it's beautiful.
I actually bought the 535i before the E350, it leaves the garage on the weekends. The E Class was to replace my G37sport as my daily driver.
As far as the replica wheels, depends on your road conditions, they are going to be similar to most cast wheels. If you hit a pot hole with enough force your going to cause damage to your wheel. I have never had any issues, 3 or 4th set of replica wheels- believe I cracked a replica RS6 wheel on my 2012 Audi. In the defense of the wheel, the tire on the wheel was a 30 profile and the pot hole I hit was at an angle because I tried to avoid it. The rim bent, cost me a few hundred to have a new one shipped within a week.
I can't speak on long term wear of these wheels though as I do not keep my cars for more then 12-24 months. Something to also think about if you plan to keep the car long term.

Great Thread! Thanks for posting guys! Interested in picking up a set of 20x9 wheels for a W212 4-Matic and having a hard time with tire choice. Offset is 45. Considering either 245/35/20 or 255/35/20 all around. I figure the 255 will provide slightly more sidewall but unsure about fitment. Is anyone here running a similar set up? Vehicle is currently lowered.
