New Wheels From Mercedes Benz

I was just looking at the wheel options for the 2013 SL63, MB Is offering 20" rear and 19" front lightweight forged concave wheels for $1700 above the standard 19". Any thoughts about fitting these lightweight beauties to the E55?

Go to MBUSA.com and build an SL63. You will get a pop-up with pics and specs.

Got it. I wonder how staggered sizes would look on an E. Plus, how expensive would they be? $1700 over $3000-$4000?

How staggered would look on an E ? Don't we guys already have staggered on our E55 already ?? I have 245 in front and 265 in the back isn't it the same for you guys ? or am I doing something wrong ?

The current EPC should have the PN's, or just call a dealer. The big question is will they fit properly on a 211? Of course they could be very pricey compared to, let's say Forgestars's.

They probably won't fit....All newer MB have high offsets. I know the new CLS AMGs are in the 40s and probably the same with SL

Just looked up the price at OEDISCOUNTPARTS.COM

[ 17 ] FRONT SUSPENSION / WHEELS / WHEELS / Wheel
wheel Type #17, 11.5 x 20

MSRP Online Price
$7,570.00 $5,677.50

GAADS!!!

And Forgestar's are probably a better quality.

Yeah i agree with the TUV Part of those wheels
But did you hear that the C63 Black Series wheels are cracking in the UK at an alarming rate.
The wheel isn't available here.

OEM wheels are way overpriced for their quality. For that amount you can get much better wheels imo.
