I am buying a 2013 GLK and noticed they had these rims?

R53 19" 7-spoke wheel

These definitely dont show up on the website they look like these

GKS1

Welcome to the forum.

What's the question?

Those are Mercedes wheels optional for the GLK I have seen them on a few new 2013 GLKs when they first started shipping them, They have been optional for most of the GLK production - look in GLK accessories catalog

What are your thoughts? Are they an upgrade from the stock 2013 GLK Rims?

The only way I could see them being an "upgrade" is if they were lighter than the stock wheels but just as strong. Do they look better? That's a matter of opinion. What do YOU think? Do they look better? You're the one that would be paying for them and looking at them every day.

Here is what it looks like. You guys are great with feedback..

I'm not a big fan, they kinda look like hubcaps.

Neither am I a fan. Also, those curves will make brake dust harder to remove.

JaykeAlex

Yeah. I agree... Going to go with stock silver ones..

MBKLUE

can only say "wow..."

Fear putting your reasons to the public?

I have to agree with you guys, those rims don't look so good. There are better GLK wheels out there.

There were a few cars shipped with these wheels as a no cost change. All comes down to the wheels being available when the cars are built and they probably had supplier issues so they put on what they had available to keep the line running. I agree that cleaning might be a bit more difficult on them but I like the look over the standard wheel as its something different.
