i am officially a proud new owner of a 2011 e550c~!!
i have a couple of questions
has anyone tried putting the 2012 cls 19 10spoke 2 tone rims on their car?
front 8.5j x 19 et34.5
tires 255/35 r19
rear 9.5j x19 et 48
tires 285/30 r19
do they fit the e550 coupe and would it look naturally dropped or would i need to go with 20's for a dropped looked without actually lowering it
i really like this steering wheel and wanted to know if anyone already did it and and has pictures

In both cases you will have to lower your car for a perfect look.As for the steering wheel i don.t think anyone has installed it by now, but it looks very good,i would buy it for myself but next year i am planning to change my car.

I don't have those wheels, but I do have similar - 8.5x19 ET 40 (effectively) and 9.5x19 ET 45. This raised the car 1cm, so not really noticeable, but the wheel wells are filled better so it does look slightly lower. Take a look at "new wheels" thread for pics.
