My 2015 with aftermarket rims.

After switching out the OEM rims with these Rays rims, I never realized how massively heavy the OEM and run flat tires were. At least 15 pounds shed per rim/tire. Nuts!!

It was either Rays Gram Lights or OZ Superleggera and I pick Rays, I could not refuse a deal on them. I really like them. Aggressive spoke/profile design, gun powder finish, and they're light too. Only drawback is the textured finish on the surface (it's hell to clean off the brake dust) and you have to provide and fabricate your own center cap. Mine is a MB center cap glued on top of a VW center cap.

Despite the extra work, I don't regret getting this set.

Looks great! I just ordered a set of rims to on my 2015 and will post when I get them!! How's the ride quality? Bet it feels a lot better with lighter rims and no more run flats

I despised the OEM Dunlap run flats. The side walls were too stiff and the car handled like it was rolling on blow molded plastic wheels. And the handling was terrible.

The Sumitomos are superior in absorbing the ruts on the road. The compound on the Sumi's are softer but there's a drawback to this; in the wet the GLK tends to get tail happy if I accelerate too much.

Man, I don't miss moving the OEM wheels and tires at all. A weight lifter's belt was required to move those 4 mastodons.

I'm looking for a set of 20" AMG wheels for my 2013 GLK350. What style and size wheels did you remove?
