Ok then……

I have to buy 4 new tyres anyway!

I’d love a set of AMG wheels to add to the look of my car!

It is a 51 plate E320CDI Advantgarde Estate.

So folks what do you think of these wheels?

How much should I pay for them?

Any other recommendations as to Wheels?

Will they alter the ride over the 17” wheels I have on at the moment?

What Tyres would you recommend for the 18” or the 17”?

Any one know some good prices for the tyres?

Is it a good or bad idea to swop up to the 18”? As in will it give a “harsher” ride? Or are there any other negative things that doing this will cause?

Will I get through more tyres?

Any other advice on doing this would be really appreciated!!

Must admit I would prefer the ummm "flatter" look wheels.

Thanks in advance………..

If you prefer the flatter type why don't you just buy some replica's as it'll be cheaper?

Genuine wheels are expensive have a compare on this webpage but bear in mind these are refurbed or brand new.

It will make the ride harder and you also may need new wheel bolts.

I was recently looking and picked these replicas up on ebay, i already had 17" wheels so reused my tyres and just had to buy new wheel bolts
