2020 G63 - which wheels?!
I’ve finally been assigned allocation and a PO# for my G63 build! So excited! I’ve decided to go with Obsidian, largely because I can’t justify the $6500 extra for the Olive Green without seeing it and factoring in the fact that it’s already $5k more for the 2020. This is going to be my primary car / daily driver, so I’m being “practical” ;p
I’m trying to decide on which wheels. I think the black 22s look killer, but having had summer only tires on my X5M, X6M and X7 - I’m over having to have two sets of wheels to make progress even in Seattle’s light winters. The new night-package compatible 21s look OK enough, but there are no real pictures of them yet (that I could find).
I’m unsure of the impact of the trail package on the 20s - but my diesel full-size range rover with its (ugly) 20s was amongst the most fun I’ve had, as it felt far less precious and more indestructible on crappy roads (deep water, potholes etc) than the lower profile rims + tires on other cars - including the Supercharged LWB (with 22s) that replaced it.
Which way to go!? Thoughts?.....

Just put all seasons on the 22"s and problem solved. It may come with them anyhow.
In snow I always run snowtires (blizzaks), but that is in snowy east coast.

G63 designo night black
Hi, I have a g63 designo night black magno. I went for the 22” satin black (295/40 r22)
If you want to keep the same size (either because you don’t want to buy a second set of wheels or if your winter wheels are also 22”) you are not constrained to all season tires, which in my view, are sub optimal to separate winter and summer sets.
On 22” wheels you can have 275/45 r22 installed. I don’t know in the US but In Europe you can chose among quite a few, the best being Pirelli sotto zero and Conti. The stretch will be a tolerable 1%.
there was a long post here months ago about this , can be easily found.

There's a few sets of the AMG 20" G63 wheel on ebay right now. I scooped up a new set for $2500 (they were new off a 2019 G63 that had 22" immediately installed). For a spare set of winters (I plan to powdercoat black) that was a decent deal (they hold value too since OEM BENZ AMG wheels)
