Coming soon-19" staggered HRE 547R Brushed Aluminum Clear Coat Centers
The two fronts are at HRE getting refinished, new inner and outer barrels, and new hardware (at a cost to me of over $1500). They will then be essentially new wheels. The rears are in close to perfect condition except for one gouge in the outer edge which can be easily repaired for under $100. I won't quote a price just yet, but these are killer rims that have had the centers bored to fit a MB center cap. The rims new are around $1800 each from HRE. I will post the sizes and offsets when I get the accurate info from HRE. I will entertain serious offers in advance.

Hey man, if you havent sold them yet, I might be interested.. Since you're sending them to HRE (assuming it hasnt be done) could they redo them so that the offset would fit a W220 S55? Or is that not possible? At the very least, the MB center looks killer on those! Is it a direct fit?

The offset cannot be changed without changing the inner barrels or wheel pads on all 4 rims. The front rims are already at HRE being worked on and the rears are fine so no work is needed on them. The offset may work fine on your car. I am still waiting for HRE to research the offsets on my rims since they are engraved with their old numbering system. The centers were bored larger to fit MB center caps. If anyone prefers HRE caps, the center of a MB cap can be cut out and HRE cap mounted into it (courtesy of Blake P).

Ok, thanks a ton! When you find out the offset, let me know for sure! If it is right, these wheels are mine no doubt. I'm pretty sure the offset of the E55 and S55 are different, but since those arent standard MB wheels, spacers may suffice.. I love the look of the brushed aluminum and mb cap, looks really clean!
EDIT: I found the measurements to the 19" 2pc 65 series wheel for the S, measurements are:
Bolt pattern 5-112 (same as E55)
offset front: +44mm 8.5" width
offset rear: +46mm 9.5" width
I have no idea how this will measure up with the offsets of yours, our best bet would be to ask HRE about this.. Once you get the measurements, I'll be glad to give them a call, or if you are still in the process of corresponding with them, could you please find out if yours would fit the S? If they fit, consider them sold! Speaking of which, can you PM with a price?
Thanks again!
