Those are gravity cast wheels - inferior construction and build methods than your stock wheels. We have many 5 spoke low pressure cast or flow formed wheels that are equal or better quality than the stock wheels in the $1,000 range for 20s.

I would at least recommend a low pressure cast wheels - and there are many offerings in the 5 spoke style.

Here are a few that we carry and that are currently available:
Forgestar CF5 - Flow Formed:
http://www.campionishop.com/product/...5/Default.aspx

Bavaria BC5 - low pressure cast:
http://www.nutekwheels.com/p-82-bavaria-bc5.aspx

Vossen CV3 - low pressure cast:
http://www.campionishop.com/product/...3/Default.aspx

Roderick RW2 - low pressure cast:
http://mrrwheels.com/rw2.html

Those are all in the 1,500 to 2,500 range. If you are willing to increase your budget, you can look into 1 or 3 piece forged wheel, there are a LOT of options and customization possibilities are endless - not to mention they will be lighter as well.

COR Cinco Super Concave - 3 piece:
http://www.campionishop.com/product/...e/Default.aspx

COR F1 Brava - 1 piece:
http://www.campionishop.com/product/...a/Default.aspx

COR Modell - 3 piece:
http://www.campionishop.com/product/...l/Default.aspx

D2 CV2 - 3 piece:

D2 MB2 - 1 piece:

hey Campioni, thanks for the recomendations. I am not limiting myself to only 5 spoke. I am just trying to feel out what would look good on the car. If you have any personal preferences that you think look good pplease let me know.

Mike, I am interested in the cv3's and can wait until May. Could you send me a rendering of an E Coupe with cv's with 20's? I've scoured the Internet and could not find an E coupe with cv3s. Like garvocool said cv3s may be too sporty or ostentatious for the E coupe. It may look fine on other mercedes models but only interested what it will look like specifically on the E coupe. Thanks in advance.

What sort of style would you like as well?

10 spoke, mesh ? Concave, lip, step lip or flat faced?

Great, send us a PM with your desired budget and we will pick out a few wheels for you!

The budget is the biggest factor in wheel selection.
