New E550 Owner... Rims?

Hello,

I have been lurking for awhile, and decided to finally join.

I just purchase a new 2014 E550 Polar White Coupe w/ red interior.
Very excited, but want some 19" factory looking rims.

Below are some options but I can not decide...... any help would be appreciated..

The are all 19x8.5 +45 front, and 19x9.5 +48 rear
They are all TUV certified and about 28lbs each

The last one is 19x8.5 +45mm all around (Bent five star)

All excellent choices but the last pic seems the best... Your car comes with sweet 18" rims already that I think are tough to beat in terms if ride comfort and looks

+2.

Also, consider cleaning the wheels. Wheels in the 3rd pic would be a PITA, IMHO.

Niice.
I ordered the Bent 5 star in the last pic.

Why are you guys saying the rims will bend? Bc of the size? or the poor quality?

I have always had 19s on every car that I drove since I was 24.... I am now 38.
No bent rims ever.

The tires I went with were the MB factory specs for 19s
235/35/19 front
255/30/19 rear

These are TUV certified cast...

I have had all types of rims in the past. .... 17", 18"and 19" cast and forged. All brands too from Volks, Enkei, OZ, BBS, Racing Harts, and SSR.
No rim bends EXCEPT from my 3 piece 17" SSR from Japan.

If these rims can last like my SSRs..... I will be very happy bc these rims I got a set for the price of one SSR

"These rims I got a set for the price of one SSR" that's the reason why they will bend lol. However a lot of cast wheels will, just avoid potholes and you'll be good.

I have the exact 19" wheels, tires (Hankook V12) with sensors that I'm going to put up for sale in the next month ( the last pic) Setup is mint and have less than 3000 miles on them. Also had the wheels coated with cquartz finest. Perfect , not a scratch. Wish you were closer. Btw the AMG in the wheels are no longer stamped, its a plate thats glued in. I may have gotten some of the last stamped ones. They look awesome on the car, I did a ton of back and forth before I got these. They do look great

Offsets are high. Something low 40s or high 30s would flush out nicer.

ThreeMBs is your go to on this topic!

Edit: here's a coupe I once owned on AMG Rep 19s with approx. 38mm offset (48 w/10mm spacer) - https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-c...ml#post4376961
