    My 2017 Motorsport Edition came with 19inch AMG wheels and rubber band tires. Ride was hard, handling was meh, noise was aplenty, and here in Mass you're just asking for trouble every time you head out on the road with all the pot holes and sunken manhole covers.

    Grabbed these Borbet Type RE wheels after seeing they've produced OEM wheels for Mercedes, BMW, and VW. I went with an 18inch tire package including "Continental DWS06+" which I had on a previous car and really like.

    Wheel quality and appearance is great, ride is great, handling is great, noise is pretty much non existent, and they fit well with the Brembo's.

    Would recommend for sure!
