???? 2009 ML550

I'm looking at a 2009 ML550 with P2, tow package, running boards and a lot of other options. I don't know much about the ML's as I've focused on AMG's for years. This ML does not have the standard 5-spoke AMG rims (closed spoke) but has a 5-spoke open rim (10 spokes) that I see on2011's and they appear to be a two-piece rim. I found it on MBUSA and was wondering if this is a standard or optional rim. I've only seen pictures of the ML to-date and not sure if the tires are 19" or 20". Also, was there an AMG sport package available in 2009? I can't find it listed as an option.

congratulations! I also recently got a 2009 ML550 P2. It has the 19 AMG rims. Can you post some images? I am thinking about the 20's...

The wheels are not two-piece. Those little bolt heads are fakes. (At least they are on my 21" AMG wheels.)

I agree but they look nice! Will post pics. later when I'm off travel. BTW, after driving nothing but AMG's for the past five years I wasn't sure I would like an ML. I was wrong, LOVE IT!

My bad. I was thinking of my 20-inch OZ winter wheels. They have fake bolt heads. I have no idea whether the AMG wheels are two-piece or not. Apologies.

But enjoy the vehicle. Mine is great!
