2011GL450
Yea the wheels are 21in AMG's. I had to put these wheels because when I added the fender flairs the original 20in wheels were so set in, the truck looked retarded. These rims are a ET of 35 and the original wheels had an ET of 52..... 17mm difference. Now the truck has the same wide stance as the 550.

Hi there, where are you in NY? Beautiful truck with nice wheels and those flares are hot. I picked up my brand new 11 GL350 last week. Where did you get the flares and at what cost also how much do the wheels cost? How do the flares attach to the fenders?

Im a huge fan of those wheels. Are they the real deal or replica? I had my eye on the replicas but the max load rating seemed unsafe for our trucks.

OP, those wheels look quite nice but are you sure they're OEM 21" AMG? To my eyes, they look 20" replica. They look great on your GL nonetheless.

I agree with you. I hope they aren't the replicas though, because they only have ~700kg max load, which would be about 30% below what is considered safe for our vehicles.

What's up guys...... yea they are the 20" replicas with the original run flats... I bought them from my wheel guy in the Bronx. I asked him about the load rating, he said they would be fine. Been crushing all these dam pot holes in the city and no problems yet, still running smooth!!! Anyway for $200 a rim don't care if valet hits the curb or I need to buy another....
