Ok got SOME pix. Will take more on Monday as my car is in the shop again today as it rubbed a bit TOO much on the 19x10. Having the front dropped an 1/2-1" more and I'm installing Koni shocks AND struts.

thanx guys for the positive feedback! The wheel look awesome in person, like if they were handbuilt! Also I need to clean them and smother the rubber w/Meguairs when I post finished pix on Monday.

awesome!! 
as you can tell from my other posts.. i am having rubbing issues with my 9.5 x 19s HRE wheels as well. Please keep me updated as to where your rubbing sounds is coming from.. and preferrably if you could take some pics that would be great.
P.S. I wish all of us could have a MB meet and take pics together
:p

Carlsson 2/5 19x10s
I had the same prob with my carlsson 19x10's in the rear.
I bought a dremel with a metal cutting disc and took off the rear wheel and cut a small section of the bracket that holds the bumper and fender together. Solved alot of the problem. It rarely rubs now. I am going to get thicker spring pads installed this weekend just to make a little more room as well. The rear fenders are already rolled so there wasn't a problem there.
Let me know what the shop does to solve your prob.
Good luck.

Nice... post pics of the whole car!!!
For you guys that are rubbing, you might want to cut off part of the fabric that covers the inside of the wheel well on the edge and also shave off a piece off the edge of the plastic side molding...
