Need input on new Wheels....

OK guys looking for input on which wheels to get. Currently the car has 19's and thus if I replaced them with 19's I don't need to buy tires but not too concerned with that.

Not sure if 20's will be a BIG difference in looks or if I should stick with 19's etc.
Below are some of the wheels I'm considering...wondering what everyone's input/thoughts are and if you have anything else you would recommend for this color of car.

Also on a side note, not sure how the whole TPMS sensor stuff works, can they just take them out of the original wheels and put them in the new ones or do I need to buy new ones?

Thanks!

I like the wheels on the GLK in the first picture. They look like they were made for the car.

Then buy the ones YOU like, not the ones we like. It's not our money, we won't be seen in it and we won't like you more or less based on the wheels you choose ;-)




PS. I think most of them would look like crap on the GLK except maybe the first AMG-looking wheel in silver :-)

20" wheels would definitely look good on your ride. TPMS sensors from your old wheels and placed on the new ones may work but you would need to confirm with the specific wheel brand. It is recommended to get new service kit for TPMS sensors if you do re-use your old TPMS sensors on new wheels. I would suggest just getting new TPMS sensors that are compatible with your new wheels and vehicle - usually get a better deal when you buy the package of wheels, tires, and TPMS sensors.

If you want to stick with classic MB look then I'd suggest going with one of the split 5-spoke wheels.

Good luck!

Thanks for the input guys. I ordered the first set of split spoke amg wheels. Will post pics once both the wheels and car arrive.

Pretty sure we've all seen a picture of a GLK with AMG wheels already, but okay.

Went through my photos of Pebble Gray with those wheels but the only one I have has the AMG door lock pins in the front doors so that's not going to be a true representation. Hmmm....
