Exclamation polished/chromed wheels

Hi guys!

At first I want U to excuse me for my bad english.
I know U are all C32 drivers, but perhaps you could help me too.

It´s important!!!

I am an owner of the new E 55 AMG and now I want to buy 19" wheels.

I thought about the new 2-piece Styling IV from AMG

8,5" x 19" and 10" x 19" which are for the SL 55

Now my question: are those wheels allowed in Germany on my W211 E 55 AMG?

And is it possible to get those wheels polished or chromed directly from AMG?
Or have I to get them polished by a "tuner"?
Is it also allowed to drive with polished wheels on german streets?

Look at this picture how they look like polished:



Another question:
Does anyone where I can get RACING HEART WHEELS in Germany?
I mean the Racing Heart C4 (here a pic)



thanks for Your information!!!!!
(sorry for my english)

Your questions sound a bit strange. You are a German and you live in Germany. AMG/MB is a German company. And you're posting questions in a North American forum where most of your questions can be answered simply by visiting your AMG/MB dealer in Germany. How come you dont know whether you are allowed to drive polished wheels on German streets???

To answer some of your questions....no one has a E55 on this board, so I guess no one can give you an answer whether the 8.5x19 and 10x19 that you found on SL55s can be fitted on a W211 or not. Racing Hart wheels are Japanese wheels and they are mainly for Japanese cars, are you planning to put a set of Racing Hart on a MB? If so, I dont think they fit.

Thank U.

I was at AMG and asked therefore. But they said that the wheels are only in Sterlingsilber available. But at WHELLEXPERTS I saw them polished or chromed.
That is because I am wondering.
I thought you guys in America are getting other wheels as we do here in Germany.

You're wrong...Germans are always the luckier ones!!! You guys have AMG "Manufaktur" and can ask AMG to do whatever you want and we cant!!

Can you show us a pic of your E55????

I am gonna show you when my E 55 is "finished".

In about 6 weeks I will get 19" wheels and lower it.

If u want, u can go to the E 55 AMG forum and look the thread "AIRMATIC II suspesion" of me. There u can see a SL 55 of a friend of mine.

Look how low his one is.

I am gonna lower my E 55 like his one.

LooK!!!!!!! icredible
