Gunmetal E55 AMG Wheels!!!
So, after going back and forth between selling and mounting, necessity dictated that I mount them. After the accident a couple of weeks ago, I have been concerned about the tread (or complete lack thereof) on my rear tires.
I have no money to buy new tires, and was planning on using the money from the sale of the E55 wheels to buy them, but I can't wait. So... they are now on me car - and will not be coming off any time soon!
I had to get shorter lug-studs, but that wasn't too much. I also needed spacers in the front, because the wheels were just short of clearing the calipers. I bought some really cheap, generic spacers, which are on the car now, but will be buying H&R hub-centric ASAP. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to purchase them?
So, my stock wheels are for sale. The front tires were still in good condition - 80% and 90% (one tire was replaced under road hazard protection). The tires, on both the old and new wheels, are General UHPs.
And now the pictures!!!
Thanks for looking!!!

Thanks everyone! I will get the correct spacers. Could you confirm for the that the correct part number is HR1055665. Thank you very much, Frank!
@bmwhunter09 - That was something a thought about before I put them on. They look much better on the car, because the silver matches, but I hope to change them. I couldn't find anything that really went, though. Thanks again!

Ah, that would be Drew's car. Drew has since moved on from the W203 and no longer visits regularly. But props to you for searching. Try posting this question in the Aftermarket Wheels thread.
Edit: I will see if Drew will pop in and can answer your question. He's a good friend of mine.
