What size wheels?? - 1/23/2007 2:33:47 PM

I just purchased a new 2006 ML350 last week. The car had a custom set of 22" wheels on it and the dealer wanted an extra $5000 for them. The sticker shock told my brain to say no to these and go with the stock 17" wheels. The ride was much smoother as expected!

I would like to purchase some aftermarket wheels, but I don't want a rough ride. I'm thinking a 19" or 20" wheel with some low profile tires will give me what I want. Any ideas would be welcome!!

Also, does anyone know of a good online retailer for wheels and tires? I'd like to go with all chrome or a combination of chrome/gun metal grey!!

Any advice on tires, wheels, sizes, whatever, would be great!

First, you can do 22'' wheels and it surprisingly wont alter the ride that much. (I have 22's on a 2006 R350). You can do 20'' and still have a good amount of tire sidewall. A good fit is 20x8.5-9.5 with 275/45-20 or 295/40-20 tires.

You can call Parts & Polish @ 516-466-3553 ask for Jonathan tell him Dennis sent you. They have been specializing in Hi-end especially MBZ cars for the last 20 years! I was the previous owner and also train Mercedes Dealers to sell aftermarket wheels and tires.

Good Luck!!!
