I think you should be able to get that since it is low mileage, but when I first looked at the picture, the black rims (to me) detracted from the appearance of the car. My first thought was , "yeah, it has probably been driven hard". If it was me I would put the factory wheels on it, de-tint the front windows, which would make it more attractive to a larger audience, but hey, I live in the Mid west and far away as I want to be from the NY scene. Good luck.

I disagree. And without meaning to insult you, that sounds like something that would come out of the mouth of a 70 yr old who never owned anything other than stone-cold stock cars/bikes/umbrellas his whole life.


The stock wheels are....stock. Everyone and his/her granny have them, they do nothing to set you apart from the thousands of other ML 350's out there.
If I never did anything to set my vehicles apart from all the others, I'd feel like I was re-living George Orwell's 1984.


But that's me...

+1 The black rims definitely reduce the market.

Agreed. When I see tinted windows and/or aftermarket wheels or aftermarket lip spoiler, my initial thought is that the owner likes to mod his vehicles, a car guy who likes to drive hard. I'd rather see a bone stock vehicle and think it hasn't been modded and just been driven once in a while on a Sunday afternoon.

with all due respect.. i get where your coming from, since me i like customizing too but everyone has their own cup of tea, esp with MBZ, since most like their cars with stocks, gives it the formal look. Me i want to change the rims on mine too but i dont see myself doing anything for a few years at best

WOW!


Thanks for your insight, I appreciate it. But it puts MB in a new light for me.

What I'm hearing is that MB owners are either;


A: A bunch of older fuddy-duddies who appreciate nothing other than a $500 detailing to set their vehicles apart. Or...


B: A bunch of rich older fuddy-duddies who own MB's simply to make a statement.


None of the above are meant to be insulting. But my God, I never realized that the MB owners were...well, like "that". My bad, I guess.

If you are trying to sell your 2015 ML350 for premium $$ then you need the largest target audience you can get.
This isn't really about personal customizing preferences. This is about sales.
I believe the suggestion to put the stock rims back on and remove the additional tinting is spot on.
Additional details and possibly spell check would also draw more interest in the vehicle.
The 21"black wheels look good and add a sportier appearance. I'm sure someone will buy them.
My .02
Good luck with the sale!!

I look at that ML with 22" black with no character wheels and tinted windows and think......the owner never does serious long distance driving and just putters around town for short distances. This from a Real old man with a 2014 ML350 Bluetec with 92k on the odometer.

I just picked up a 2014 CL550 with just 20k and the only thing wrong with it is the 20" wheels which do zippity other than transmit ROAD NOISE. Low profile tires are for the birds. Just did a 428 mile trip from North Padre Island to Ft Worth Tx in 5hrs 37 minutes. All the while wishing the wheels were 19" or 18"ers.

God made Bose Quiet Comfort headsets for cars with low profile tires.

I have customizations to one of my Mercedes-Benzes. Customizations typically narrow the pool of buyers and lower the value. It's nothing personal.
