Not a newbie, just a newbie to the platform. 2014 ML63, loaded.

Two questions:

1) I want to buy plain steel rims of a smaller diameter and fit them with taller, narrower purpose manufactured snow tires. (I Live in Buffalo NY). I want to go as small as possible without caliper clearance issues. This does NOT have the red performance calipers, but does have the 21" rims stock. I have searched plenty but there's seemingly thousands of opinions, as expected. I just want the bottom line.

2) I am going to tune it. Thoughts?

First choice: Alpha (http://alphaperformance.com/calibrat...o-calibration/)

Second: Eurocharged (http://www.eurocharged.com/products/...-software.html)

Third: Renntech (http://www.renntechmercedes.com/inde...66-ml63-detail)

Now, all of us can Google. I would love to hear REAL world experience with these items.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for reading!

CLK 55 AMG 2005 and CLK 63 AMG cab.2007 - 2009 EVO - 2013 ML63 AMG - 2018 G63 AMG
Congratz on a great buy.
I got my ML63 2013 a couple months ago.
550 hp is really nice and fast for a truck.
I wonder if 700hp is really needed. But for 3k Alpha tune
Is a great price for 150 more hp.

I know there some Renntech ML63 on the forum.
Hope they can help more.

Keep us updated on what tune u pick. ����

I did the RennTECH upgrade in my W212 4.6V8BT. No issues (ever). Already have my ML63 set to go to RennTECH, can post updates after I find a day to send the ECU in...

Amazing choice well done !

You will not be dissapointed the w166 ml63 is an incredible performance SUV and Wow tuned it becomes a silver bullet!

Renntech makes sick stuff but very expensive !

Alpha tuning is well known in the tuner industry but not that long since they tune MB's...however Stunning hp results for sure!

I did a lot of mods on mine but mostly Vath and Brabus for performance upgrades and I can say that I am extremely happy

Hi mate, welcome to the forums.

They are the ultimate mid size SUV

Ive had my 2012 ML63 for about 2 months now, can't help you on question 1, but for question 2 I went with eurocharged, they had a $1299 deal going couldn't resist, wow what a difference it has made the car is an animal now, almost no delay in power delivery comes on strong from idle. I had a great transaction with the team. Needless to say Im very happy with the results.
