2024 EQE AMG SUV . 2021 GLE AMG 63s Coupe
A little refresh..

I was thinking about trading in my showroom perfect 2021 AMG GLE 63s coupe towards the purchase of a 2025 AMG GLS 63 just for the added room in the rear.
Well the wonderfull dealership offered me $59k for my 22,155 mile that I paid $138k + covid tax markup of $30k = $168k... F that I said so I bought a new set of summertime shoes and mono block wheels..
I picked up a space saver spare wheel and tire which does fit under the rear deck storage lid with tools and compressor, along with my new fridge road trips are coming now that I didn't **** away a $100k + on a new GLS 63

Just to clarify I am specifically talking about the wheels. Unless I am missing something but I don't see these wheels (the colour specifically) on the configurator, or maybe I am blind.

Yes I did powder coat the wheels white... I will be powder coating the mono blocks clear gloss. The last thing I want to do is polish my wheels.

Ah gotcha, looks good still just was curious because I didn't seen MB officially offering it in that colour for that style of wheels. You may ceramic coat the wheels as well to reduce brake dust (or well, to make it easier to clean).

Those Monoblocks are Great! Where did you get them? What are the specs?

You could use ceramic brake pads to get rid of the brake dust that would eliminate the the need to clean the wheels constantly.

And that is exactly why I did not go for the Night Package. I really think the black wheels have been played out, especially on white cars.

I'm not a fan of polishing wheels so I had the monoblocks powder coated body color, I like the sportier look of the body colored wheels..

Very good eye for photos. I like the powder coated wheels much better than the polished. I am a fan of powder coating wheels as I had that done to the AEV wheels on my 392 Wrangler. (Sig pic)
