E55 wheels are bigger. Same design.

E55:

18/8.0
18/9.0

c55:

18/7.5
18/8.5

no...
same size 18 inch
but different design

look closely at the spokes...the E55's are straight all the way..
C55's are "curled" in as it reaches out...

I too was surprised when I looked at some of the other cars wheels (like E55). Even though they are only 1" bigger than ours, they look HUGE compared to ours. They look like 20" on the cars, I am thinking why?? Well I think the bigger brakes sitting behind the wheels make them look a lot bigger, plus just the design... But I was floored when I read that they were only 18"......
