I have a public service announcement. A test-fit revealed that the AMG Monoblocks do not fit in the 18" flavor... the rears won't clear the calipers (see image below) and the fronts touch the backing plates. So if you're thinking of going this route, you have to find a set of 19" wheels.
Which is close to impossible. But I did.
Will post another update once I have test-fitted those.

Also switched from Audi and located in SF. I think SF bay area must have the highest per capita of E63 wagons in the country. I feel like I see them once per year in other parts of the country, but almost once per week in San Francisco.

Also, since there are so many of us with wagons in the Bay Area, I really think we should get together for a drive. How fun would that be? (and terrifying for everything else on the road)

The Hre wheels look great . I would keep them the old AMg monoblock wheels are nice but just too old looking for the new of a car . I had AMG monoblocks on my c36 so long ago .
And I doubt you can find the correct size and Straight wheels
good luck car looks great
