2 minutes to clean all 4 with a pressure washer. They don't seem to get hardly dirty at all though as they are so far away from the brake calipers, the stock ones got dirty much faster.

 

There is no way a proper detail is capable of cleaning a set of 4 rims in 2 minutes.

 

I find they stay really clean just from the pressure of the car wash. Remember the slats in the wheels go straight in so the surface area of most of the wheel is pretty small.

 

Really sharp looking wheels, and you didn't have to overpay thousands a wheel like others have. Love the cut mirror finish!

 

Exactly, these are very well made wheels and designed for Mercedes cars.

 

Wow. 26 posts to your name and the one where you'll be forever remembered as a D!(K.

If you don't like what another member has chosen for their personal car and is clearly proud of and excited about, don't say anything.

And I think you're completely wrong. They look like very nice wheels.

 

Thanks. Myself I feel like these look like S class wheels. I probably would not have made the change though if not for the factory wheels getting damaged so easily. I just have the feeling these wheels will be much stronger. Took another picture today.

 

They look great and I'm glad you're happy with them!!

 

Okay, now I stand corrected in regards to the center hub. From this angle, they match perfectly.

How have they been treating you? Footloose and fancy free?

 

They look wonderful. Will get them as well, probably in Gunmetal. Where did you get these from?

 

Local New England tire dealer chain town fair tire, only in New England. You could get them online or probably at a local tire dealer near you. They were around 300 each in size 19 inch, great price.

 

Ack .. sorry I made the mistake of coming back for another look. No one with the ability to see would compliment those wheels.
If you’re worried about paying the cost to repair a damaged wheel then you probably should of bought a cheaper car. Not cheap wheels.

 

They are not cheap wheels and your nuts. Everyone who sees them thinks they look great and I’ve had comments where they think they are factory. If you knew anything about cars you’d know that once a wheel is bent it’s never the same. I hit a good pothole the other day that was unadvoidable and no shimmy or shake in the steering wheel. I suspect from experience that pothole would have been enough to bend the stock wheel. That tells me these wheels I have now are less likely to get road damage than the stock wheels and that’s a reassuring feeling to have.

 

What part of "IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING" do you not understand?

It's just incredibly RUDE of you to to continue being critical of another owners choice for "HIS CAR." And suggesting no one with the ability to see would compliment the wheels, you've now managed to dismiss everyone else. No one has suggested you should buy them. And there's nothing wrong with the wheels to begin with. In fact, they're quite nice looking and if you've noticed, you are the minority of ONE. So we got it. You don't like them. Kindly move along.

 

XWAGONX is nothing but a punk troll who probably doesn't even own a MB, let alone decent wheels, and you know what we do with trolls.

Yeah, but he has a lawn mower.

 

No doubt:

 

I'd put those on my lawn mower in a heartbeat! Although then the lawn mower would be really heavy and make it really difficult.......maybe I wouldn't put them on my lawn mower I hear you on the pressure washer, but hand wiping is the best Although time consuming. I don't know if I'd blast my wheels with a pressure washer very often though.

 

What is the center cap size for oem wheels?

 

Something got me thinking .. why are all these oem wheels bending so easily? thin tires along with bigger rims have been out for years now and I have never bent any factory wheels even in my previous benz and other brands... considering MB production has increased drastically during the past couple of years - i serious wonder if if they are using a different supplier and or using lower quality wheels.

 

I’m starting to think I replaced the wheels for nothing. I’ve got a vibration in the rear of the car and a slight one in the front. In 3000 miles the car goes to the dealer for the prepaid 20k maintainance. I’m really starting to think it’s something with the car or maybe it is the tires because it seems to come and go. Very strange. Probably now that the wheels have been replaced the dealer will tell me it’s yhe wheels lol. My e450 cabrio rides perfect though and it has the same tires. I’ll probably trade the car in for a 2021 in about a year and a half. That will solve the issue.

 

I do believe you will get some bogged down vibration from a 4 cyl with 9 gears! I think the 6 cyl gets rid of that issue by adding additional power to the wheels etc.

It like if your driving a manual stick shift going 10 mph in a taller gear ( like 3rd or 4th). If you know what i mean.

 

I can’t figure it out. Even my 2018 amg wagon was back at the dealer many times with vibration issues on the highway with no resolution. The only real resolution was to get rid of the car now I’ve got the same with the e450.
