Replica wheels yes/no?
Thinking of buying 20" 20 spoke replica wheels for my 2022 GLS 450 on ebay from well rated seller. Any concerns?

Gotta at least get 22s! My last GL had AMG wheels on when I bought it, I doubt they were the real deal as the new price on them was over 5k, but you never know. They worked out well and I'll likely get rep wheels for my new GLS.

I had AMG 18” wheels on my 2014 E350. They constantly would bend. Replaced them with some cheap Amazon delights in 2022 and had zero problems for the following 2 years and 15k miles. Just bought MB inserts (also Amazon cheapos) for the center piece and called it a day. Nobody ever knew.

2024 GLC 300
Wife bent a wheel on her E350 and after pricing an OEM wheel, I bought an aftermarket wheel off Amazon for a fraction of OEM cost. Perfect match, drove 2 years until she traded it on a 24 GLC300.

Then I have to get new tires! How do you tell the car it has 22". Doesn't the odometer and speedometer need to know?

Tire size is programmed from the factory but there are some posts somewhere on here that tells you how to change it with an OBD2 reader.
