Introducing myself....I currently own a 2011 GL350 BlueTec (black on black) after having had three X5's in the past. This is my first MB although the wifey is currently driving her third E class, a 2011 E350 wagon (looks really sexy....)

Anyway, I've always been modding my past X5's (22"wheels, exhausts, Dinan goodies) quite extensively and after having the GL for the last four months, the mod bugs are staring to bite. I have so far added AMG sports pedals, rear roof spoilers (not yet installed), LED lighting kit for the running boards, and Invision SL rear entertainment system. I can't wait to have these LED lights installed....they look awesome in pics but I have yet to see them in person. Apparently there are only 7 kits available in the entire USA (according to the dealer where I bought them from).

So I'm onto wheels now and I don't want to go too crazy with 22's with the two young kids in the back so I'm down to these two choices: They will be wrapped with stock 275/50/20 tires.

1. Vossen VVS-CV1 ... 20x8.5 front and rear with +40 offsets.
Finish is black with bright satin machined face. I really dig the concave
look.



2. Niche Euro ... 20x8.5 with 40 offsets
Finish is also black with machined face.



Let me know your opinion and I'm looking forward to joining this community. Pics will follow soon once I have the wheels on.

I prefer the Niche Euro.

+1 Nice Wheel!

I don't anything about this manf. but just make certain that the tire sensors are compatible with the MB. From checking around when I got my winter wheels, there weren't a ton of aftermarket options. Good Luck!

Yes, Niche Euro looks much nicer. Niche wheels are made by MHT wheels and are very high quality and durable. Just make sure they are load rated for your GL.

I'd say Vossen. Everyone and their dog has five-spokes on their GL. I also like the bigger polished lip, it will look great on the black car.

Thanks for the inputs and advice, guys. I agree both look great and the 5-spoke Niche wheels are nice and clean but like Brocktoon said, everyone and their relatives have the same look. I'm leaning towards the multispoked Vossen although it's considerably more expensive than the Niche.

vossen is the way to go
