What a difference new wheels make - wow

So I finally got over the Christmas family expenditures to put some much needed tweaks to my "new-to-me" 2016 E350.
Here are the results of what new wheels and tints make on my car. Loving it! Another small mod coming soon.... Can't wait.

Wheels are personal taste, so can't comment on that.
But to be fair, you are showing old, dusty wheels v/s new shiny ones.
Do other way around and who knows how the taste will change.

The best or nothing
Are these wheels original for your model? I don't recall seeing them. They look like fake C217 in smaller diameter. Your car looks OK though

I like the black and machine finished ones too. It was an awesome match to my Diamon Silver Metallic. I got them from 2018 C43 and it was a staggered setup on my 4Matic.

Looks mean and fantastic. The first picture is basically my exact car. Lol. How much did you spend on these mods? What other mod are you planning?

Pamiboy,
I got them on eBay; $630 for the set with shipping. PM if interested, and I'll send you the link to my purchase so you can contact the seller.
My next (and last) mod will be E63 diffuser with quad tips. I just found a local installer, so, it's coming soon!
