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?

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

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

[ 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.
