any thoughts ? GLS 63 wheels on a GLS 550
Hi All. I have a 2017 GLS 550. I’m not to crazy with the 21” black and silver wheels that come on the GLS 550. I really fancy OEM wheels. Do you think the GLS 63 22” Multi spoke Wheel is a nice upgrade. I know they are hard to find used. Any have a set ?

it depends on you, if you like them more go for it, each owner has his/her own flavor. Me personally i like GLS 550 21s they come with, not that im saying the GLS 63 rims arent bad as well but it depends on you. I assume those would be very hard to find, but maybe ebay has or maybe a GLS63 owner will be willing to part given the right price.. good luck

Hi Changalang and welcome to the forum. I like the GLS63 wheels a lot and started looking for them myself when I purchased my GLS550. I couldn't find them on the web (eBay and the like). I checked with my dealer about ordering them and at the time the GLS63 had just started shipping so the wheels were not readily available yet. I don't recall the exact total but they were very expensive with tires included (around $8,000 for the set installed). I found myself starting to love my wheels, if you know what I mean.

These are the wheels I’m in search of. Stole the photo thou for demonstrating purposes
Hey all I truly like the multi spoke OEM GLS 63 wheel and the way it looks. I trust the OEM wheel not so much aftermarket wheels. But yet I do agree $8000 is crazy to pay for a set of wheels. I’m looking for used or takeoffs

You will be happy to know that you wheels will stay much much cleaner than the multispoke wheels. I personally am not a fan, I think it just makes a vehicle look older. I know more cars are showing spokes these days, but it always ends up going back to the classic design that you have now. You may be better off.

Thanks. I really think you might be right. Just got 4 tires put on the GLS550 21 “wheels I was going to buy used 22” AMG multispoke wheelsa and used tires. But tires at summer versions. So that’s another thought on do I really need. Maybe not.

If find there's already a noticable difference in comfort between the 20's (my winter set) and the 21's. 22's May start feeling a bit 'harsh'

I like the 550 wheels over the 63. I have a set of 20s for the winter tires, they are not horrible but I lave spring when the 21's go back on. The price of MB rims is obscene.
