Rims for E500 4matic
I have a 2005 E500 4matic and all 4 of my rims are bent. My tires are also worn out so I am looking to purchase a rim and tire set.
Are certain rims stronger than others? Are AMGs made stronger and thus justify the higher price?
A friend of mine had the same problem with his MB and bought 4 new cheap rims...they are already bent and he has to replace them again.
Im looking for recommendations on nice looking rims that wont bend as easily. This is a family car and I dont drive aggressively.
Should I stick with the stock 17 inch or goto 18 in?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Hey,
Yes some rims are stronger than others and thus justify the higher price. Cheap rims usually crack easy, bend, leak, etc. Will you be using these wheels in the winter as well? I would go with 18". Let me know and I will PM you some pics of what I have.
