I prefer the AMG wheels over the OEM wheels.

Don't let brake dust accumulate on the wheels. Over time it etches into the metal and the pitting can't be removed unless sent to a restorer.

I'd go with an aftermarket set, just no chrome please.

What size are they? I do prefer them over the stock ones though. It all depends on how much money you have to burn.

If you can get a decent deal on the AMG wheels, if you have the cash, go ahead, you only live once. That Merc is not a poor boy's car anyway. I would definitely keep the factory wheels though. It can be useful to have 2 sets of wheels and tires for a car, could be factory wheels with an all-weather tire and the AMGs with a dedicated high-performance tire, for example.

That is, assuming you have a place to store them.
