For something different ----

This is what my car looked like roughly August/September of 2010. This was two owners before me (T minus 2?), with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires in 245/50ZR16 size (purchased for $151 each) and with H&R 5mm Wheel spacers (purchased for $49.95 for the pair)

I'm not too fond of the look, as it appears the wheels/tires are too "butch"

Wow!! It did look good then but looking at your avatar it doesn’t even look like the same car anymore. Great job improving to like new condition. I also love the evo wheels upgrade.
 
Looks great! Interesting wheel choice like maybach design. It make the car pop.
They are styled to resemble the magnesium wheels that O.Z. made back then for the DTM Evo II. I sold them a while ago and have the same RIAL Arc wheels on the car that 036 posted above (although without spacers).

Congratulations on your car, by the way! The wheels wheels and color look very striking! 👍🏽

Thank you!! I always wanted a 500e and it finally all came together. The car had a long journey from Eastern Europe to Florida but it’s all worth it at this point. It drives just as good as it looks.

Beautiful wheels you got there! Do you mind sharing what's the name of this wheel? I've never seen it before.
 
Some of the most recent side shots. It’s all about the angles.

I RECOGNIZE THOSE WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
You definitely do @Jlaa! And I’m really happy with them! To me, NEEZ or Monoblocks AMG BBS 2 Piece on a .036 is the definition of perfection. 🤩 I’m definitely on the look for some R129 BBS 2 Piece. 🧐
Of course there are a lot of other stunning wheels options out there, love my Brabus Monoblock IVs too.

Wheels are 3pc 18" MAE: 10,5"– ET19,5 – 235/45 and 11,5"– ET29 – 265/40
The original color was changed at some point from 172 anthracite grey to 040 black, all chrome sprayed as well. The pre-facelift grill frame is custom integrated with the bonnet. Wheels & mods came with the car when I bought it.

Super glad for you @Ctibulschii - I tried my best to photograph and pack them well. 👍. What tires are you using?
