Wheel Swap

Does anyone ever swap wheels on these? I have a set of 19" wheels and would love to go smaller.

Better ride quality, lighter overall wheel/tire combo makes for better acceleration, and more options for chunkier tires if I want to do that. Plus I'm one of those weirdos who likes the look.

I believe there were 17" OEM wheels offered on European GLKs since they had an 'off road' locking transmission option for 4MATIC. if you are feeling spendy you can get 18" BBS or Brabus Monoblock wheels for a GLK.
