Question After market wheel options
I cannot find many fitments for the W164. Can anyone point me in the direction of a lightweight mesh design in 19" or 20"? Is this a new offset/bolt pattern for the market?

I had no problem looking for after market wheels for mine. Try Google, I'm sure you'll find a website that sells wheels. If not, try these:

www.cecwheels.com (So Cal)
www.superbuytires.com (So Cal)
www.tirerack.com

There are hundreds of websites you can choose from. My recommendation is find the wheels you like in a website and go to a local shop and see if they can price match or beat the price. I'd rather deal with a local shop so you can always go there if you have problems, i.e. wheel balancing.

Are you happy with the ride?
Do you know the offset?
Do you have air suspension?

Would these look good on a silver ML500?

Yes, very happy with the ride and handling. Sorry, don't know the offset. Just told them what car it's for and they know the correct offset. No, I don't have air suspension. One thing to consider when buying after market wheels is the reputation of the manufacturer. Wheels such as Brabus, Antera, HRE, etc. are all reputable. They may be pricy but worth the money. Make sure the wheels you are buying are TUV approved. Also, as you may already know, German cars produce a lot of brake dust. I'd recommend buying a wheel design that's easy to clean. This is why I went with a five spoke wheel. Read this article about wheels plus sizing. http://www.roadandtravel.com/consume...ssizetires.htm

What size? They come in 20" and 22". The 22", with Pirelli tire package, can go from $7K to $10K. Depends who you get them from. Websites are usually cheaper but beware of fraud.
