E63
E63 vs E55 Wheels
I like my E63, but I really like the E55 wheels better. Is there any benefits to the new design that dictated the change?

I am not quite ready to spend the $6,000 necessary to get after market replacements, so I am looking for a reason to feel good about the wheels I have.

Do they have any advantages other than design/appearance?

Interested in a trade My wheels are mint with very good tread.....

I'm not sure there are any real benefits to the new wheels, maybe just a design change.....

Trade?

Looks like FCS beat me to it. Mine are OK with a few curb rashes and the occasional spot weld, but I'm closer.

there is nothing functional or anything engineered into the new wheel design.
