Got my new wheels on (Part Deux)
My E55 came with Maya DLS wheels, which I didn't like. So I picked up a set of Vossen CV2 wheels of eBay. Loved them but they were the wrong offset and with 15mm spacers the darn things wobbled at 70+ mph. So I bought a new set of Roderick RW6 wheels.
20 x 8.5 front
20 x 10 rear
Wrapped in Nitto INVO tires
TPMS sensors
Black lugs
I think they look great! Slightly different than the Vossen's with 7 pairs of spokes... the RW6's have 8 pairs of spokes. The polished clear coat is a nice touch, too. Some pics I just took.
Yes, I know it needs to be lowered some more. I'll work on that next.

Well, the car came with RENNtech lowering module. So I *should* be able to lower it electronically, although I don't know how to do that.
I have a Canon 40D. If only I knew how to use it.

I never thought MBZ owners, especially AMG owners, to be such ricers. Why is everyone begging him to lower it? It looks perfect as is! Beautiful car. (flame suit on)

Looks good! Since you have the renntech module, do a quick search on here or on the interweb to see how to make adjustments and slam it!

Those pics were with the Canon 28-135 IS. Great all-purpose lens. My other cheapo lens is the 1.8 50mm, can't be beat for $100, particularly for portraits.

I know this post is old, but you've taken some fantastic photos, and we wanted to ask permission to use one of your photos on our website. We'll make a note on the photo giving you credit for it of course.

lenses are expensive as hell........most of them more than my camera body......but I'd love to have a super wide and a fish eye too.......

I'm flattered. Help yourself to the photos.
I bought the wheels from you guys. Great service and great price. Although I never did get the Mercedes star centercaps.
