Very nice setup 👍. Certainly it’s pricey though ... for winter use

Had sold my stock wheels so I was stuck. BC Forged are the most inexpensive custom Forged wheels so figured that was my best option.

What rubber are you putting on?? I currently have the Sottozeros from my old Audi on the E63. Once those are done I will swap out for Nokian Hakkepillitas. Have those on my GLE63s and have been very very happy with the performance. Huge snow day up here in Duluth today!

I’m going to run Pirelli Sottozero Serie II in 265/35 front and 295/30 rear (stock sizes).

We got about 6-8” in the cities yesterday.

The best or nothing
Sottozeros are surprisingly good, exceptional traction and comfort comparable with Michelin Pilot Alpin 4.

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
Ya, I was just gonna ask the same about the red center caps, I gotta get myself some of those. I got some nice silver ones on eBay for 20 bucks for a set but the red ones would be nice to change things up occasionally, they would look nice with the hood ornament on my Amg line Cabriolet lol. Ya, I'm different but I like to be different. Gonna drag race my E450 wagon soon, I'll let ya all know the results. I'm really hoping for a 12.6 which is only a half second worse than my old 2012 E63 AMG wagon. When I had my 2018 AMG wagon I never did get to the track unfortunately. I'm pretty sure it would have been around mid 11's though. Oh well.

Red caps on Amazon. They share the same mfg marks as OEM on the back, so either oem or really good knock offs.
