Have been driving with the new rims for a couple of days, very very smooth. I was quite pleased with the ride, it is just a tiny bit more rough than with the 16" wheels.

Highly recommended!!

SpineDoc:

How do you like the wheels? Do you notice a difference in the ride quality?

dsimonl I was VERY hesitant to go 18", fearing a decline in ride quality. I finally took the plunge and do NOT regret it. The car rides just a touch rougher and stiffer, but WOW the turns and handling are amazing.

I would recommend FACTORY 18" with no hesitation whatsoever. My 1991 has aftermarket 18" and I see a HUGE difference. Don't think you are smarter than AMG, go with the OEM.
