2005 E55 - new wheels part 2

This time we went something more suited for the AMG model:

Auto Couture Lative - brushed
F: 20x9
R: 20x10
Yokohama Advan Sport
F: 245/30/20
R: 285/25/20

Sorry about the large pics, my resizing program is messed up.

Looks ok. Too many split spokes. Almost kind of like on SUV's. But again looks ok.

No more HREs for promos bro.....everyone else has them, I dont need to promote them anymore. You know, I always have to do something new and outside the box. The first time I was here, back in 2000, people said the same thing when I put 19" HREs on my CLK....."That was stupid, why didn't you get Lorinser or Brabus if you spent that type of money" they said.....so now that everyone knows HRE, its on to something new...

I agree somewhat with JamE55. Nice car, nice rims, but nothing wow.
Very subtle I guess.

Weight on the rims?

They look similar to the (I think) MY06 E-class wheels.

Nice, but good luck with cleaning the calipers.

Now you're talking.
These look way hotter than the last ones. However, I think this style would look lends itself more to a polished, chrome, or black center.

Look like the Dronnell M10, better on Audi or BMW....skip.

Kudos for trying new stuff though.

BOOO Your back to the old boring split spokes of death.........You say you don't want to promote HRE's anymore, but with these I would rather the HRE's than those. I like the last set better full face looked way better. This looks meh in my opinion. Thanks for pics though BTW I'll take the car though lol!
