W213 E220 AMG line

[dubert01]

Hi all,

I have a E220 estate (2017) and its been pretty good so far. It has the AMG suspension and 19" wheels which makes the rim quite firm. I see two possible options (i) drop to 18" wheels - it seems Romac do a wheel called the Venom which looks very similar to the standard MB 19" items, or (ii) switch to non-run flats.

Has anyone gone to non run-flats but stayed on the larger wheel size? If so what is the plan if you get a puncture? Just call the recovery service? Does it make much difference to ride comfort?

For anyone that has dropped to 18"s, did you use run-flat 18"s with them, or also drop to non-run-flats?

I saw a W213 Estate on what I believe to be 18" Romac alloys outside a Costa coffee on Saturday morning. At first I thought they were MB 18"s until I saw the centre caps. Really like the idea of having something that looks so similar to the originals.

Thanks!

Do both and carry a can of goop, the ride will be changed considerably buy doing both

Goop being a temporary puncture solution I guess? Will do some googling too - thanks

I have the same car with 19”. Swapped run flats to PS4 and it’s so much better although, the Goodyear RF is a good tyre. Only problem, is that RF is an alloy destroyer.

The 18” is a good shout, super comfy even on Rf when I’ve had courtesy cars.
