Best Rim size for e63 18" or 19?!
Looking into getting new rims.. Color will be all black, matte or gloss.

I don't want to sacrifice the ride or power.. But I want the look..

Trying to decided whether to get 18" or 19"

What do you suggest?

The E63 does a good job, of offering good ride quality, no matter what size wheels your put on it. But understand this, the bigger wheels you go with for such a heavy car, you decrease the side wall height thus increasing your chances of an eventual bent wheel. You could go to a 19" and be relatively safe, but potholes is the ultimate equalizer, in whatever size you go with. So the choice is yours

If your trying to eliminate wheel gap, how about lowering the car a bit. Just trying to offer advice thats all. I you could provide more information on your intent that would help.

If you have rough roads and potholes '18's will last longer otherwise '19's look more impressive.
