The wheels are not only ugly, but they destroy the performance of thecar, trying driving fast around a curve on those rims.

The headlights are hideous. A nice set of Euros would have looked so much better...

I don't understand what gets into people and makes them mess up a perfectly good car...

What? Are we looking at the same car?

Seriously though, where do you even find that stuff? Do that many people really use ebay?

Ick! Yeah, not my style either. Buy the car (negotiate off of ebay for a better price), sell the rims, Buy 18" 2-piece Monoblock AMG wheels. That's what I did with my 500E.
Good Luck!

The irony is that cars set up like that are much more likely to be stolen and those awful wheels will be stolen off of them

The car is priced too high, and the zero bid status proves something is wrong.

The 500E was never meant to roll on rims like that, the suspension geometry will be all messed up.

What a misapplication of funds! Still, it could be set right with more money thrown at it

"Oh, snap!"

Seriously, though. Chrome rims on a Benz just look wrong to me. There is a showiness about them that just screams "I have no taste, but I have some money". I saw a set of chrome 18s or 19s on a W220 in downtown Toronto the other week and just shook my head. That's just taking away all the class from a perfectly classy car.

I like the E500 badge on the engine shroud...but the //AMG logo is just plain wrong for a car tuned by Porsche!

I'm on the fence about the rims...after all...
