Some miles later and I am seeing the stocks are due for a replace in about 9-10k.
What alternatives for stock rims are available that you guys may have used or researched?

I went through the stock tires on my 2015 GL63 in 11,000 miles. All 4 were worn to the wear bars evenly. I went back with the same tires (ContiSportContact 295/40R21).
While it was in for the tires, I had the 360 camera reprogrammed (LI54.65-P-059114) and it made a huge improvement in the night time image.

I put on a fair number of miles, 30K on my 14.
I'm getting about 8K per set of Sport Contacts, same on the Cross Contacts I use in the winter. It's a big car with lots of power.
There aren't a lot of choices in this size.

I myself just had a nail in one the passenger rear tire. I was under the impression that you shouldn't plug a performance tire? They were in need of replacement anyways, I ended up going with the Pirelle P-Zero. So far I'm very pleased with the this set over the others I've tried so far

It's very difficult to plug a high performance low profile tire. Usually when they go flat the sidewall gets damaged. Even if they can plug it the tire is not one you would want to take a chance on with spirited driving.
