Okay, thanks. Any other ‘19 Mercedes wheel known to fit other then that one and the stock 19” from ‘14-‘17?

e63estate

did you use any spacers in the front?

bobblehead

No. (as far as my research has been done to-date)

le rafiot

no

hmm...i have HREs for my w212 e63s wagon in oem fitment....i asked HRE is they would work on the w213...short answer was no

bobblehead

Already asked and communicated with Jurrian Terpstra, HRE ...

HRE said they have no wheels (non forged) right now that would fit the w213 e63 straight on, without the use of 20+mm spacers for front ... since the factory bolts are 48mm thread length, if you add 20 or 25mm spacers, nobody makes 68mm+ thread length right now.

i was hoping to be able to use my old HREs as winter wheels...alas

alternatively, you can go stud conversion ... something like this ...

With 20 or 25mm spacers you should really think about using spacers bolted to the hub and then bolt the wheels to the spacers..

This is correct. With our FlowForm wheels, we make them in pre-determined fitments just like most everyone else in this industry does, and it doesn't look like we have a Mercedes fitment which will work well with the W213 E63S. We're currently weighing those options, analyzing the cost and how many we predict we could sell, versus the amount of orders we're seeing for Forged wheels. Currently in the system there's a large handful of E63S Forged wheel orders that we'll start seeing pop out and installed on cars in the next month or two. Obviously with our Forged wheels we can make them basically any width, any offset, so making a perfect fitting set for an E63S with our Forged series isn't difficult, it'll just take more time since they're made to order, and of course the price difference as well.

i picked up this wheel today for winter use. It’s made by BBS . As for the center cap, I picked the blue laurel Leaf design one

I'm still waiting for 2 rims to come in to my dealership so I can get my winter tires mounted and the rims put on. Hopefully it happens before any snow arrives here.

Based on bbs laser stamping onto the wheel, mine were made in late October 2017. I ordered them 3 weeks ago

2 '02 S600

I ordered my rims on 11/10, hoping this upcoming week the other two arrive. Thanks for letting me know the turn around time you had.

Can anyone comment on the downside of using the stock rims and just switching tires twice per year? Will that cause undue damage to the rims versus having a separate set? I get that going with smaller rims provides more snow tire options, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of rim options at this time. I am moving out of an Audi that I had 18" winter and 19" summer rims. What I am trying to understand is if there is any risk by just switching tires seasonally for some period of time, or if it's better to just buy a second set of the stock 20s? Thanks!

All depends on what kind of care and equipment the shop has. If done at dealer, then it’s likely the tech will exercise reasonable care of the swap.

e63estate

assuming your dealer has a no touch tire mounting machine...my dealer managed to muck up 2 sets of rims (so 8 had to be refinished)

the right guy with a touchless machine shouldn't be a problem, but figure an hour to mount and balance 4 wheels each time you swap
