Finally! got the the HRE!
After all those hard decisions which wheels to get, I finally got new shoes for my baby. The tires are P-Zero Neuro. I was going to get the resonator off today but I found out that the ss pipe that I got from EvoSports is 3mm short in length.. trust me.. 
I doubt if I can get an exchange or refund from them.. 
Mike, please pm me or reply for this matter.

Yes they are 8.5f, 9.5r. Lorinzercclass' HRE does look deeper.. That's why I called HRE. Did he roll rear fenders to fit his rims with 3'' lips..???

This is how axis rims look on e55. I think these rims would look good on any black car. Thanks for the comments guys~

so evosport sold you a ss pipe that's too short or is it possible you cut too much off when removing the resonator?
i haven't done the resonator removal so i'm not quite sure how it works.

Whoa! that lip is like not even 2"???? btw, HRE does not normally know **** about the lip sizes, its the dealers that do and measure and give the specs. I have a 3" lip on my 9.5 rears. I know you could have also with the correct offset. Just like HRE says its not possible to fit a 4" lip on the E55, i can do it! Its just i am sure the place you ordered with has never sold a set of HREs for a c-class or if they did, they dont measure and use HREs offset which normally gets you a small lip.
Very nice wheels tho!

I agree w/ Nealioo here. It really depends on the shop if they contact HRE direct and tell them exactly how they want them w/the right offsets. When I first got the wheels like 2-3 yrs ago(yup first 841's installed on a c class :p) the shop owner went back and forth w/them untill they got 3", I wanted 3.5 but they couldnt. I am happy though they clear rear BBK's and they are 10".
