I had 20" Vossen CV7s as seen in the signature. Technically, I still have them, but I decided to downside for some more meat on tires. With the 20s, I had bent a rim, and was running through tires way too fast. I had to run stretched tires in the front b/c my drop settled more than anticipated. I didn't want to spend a crapload, and Need4Speed got me a good price on the 19" Stance SF03 in brushed titanium. These wheels look great, and the detail is not really captured in my picture.
Excuse the mess of a garage and dirty car. Just grabbed a quick picture.
I hope to take some better pictures at a later time.
They look great! Look forward to more pics. How's the ride compared with your previous 20" wheels?
The ride is definitely more comfortable. I think for those who are thinking of getting wheels, 19's would be the way to go if there are any concerns. I mean I have driven on the 20s for nearly 3 years. I think 19s go best with the size of our car. The new E Coupe is larger, so maybe 20s look better. I was having to run rubberbands with the 20s, and it's just very rough.
More meat for sure here. 245/35 on front and 275/30 in back, but I'm swapping out the rears for 255/30 b/c they rubbed very slightly on dips while driving.
Maybe 265/30 for the rear would be enough to not rub (likely better for handling vs. 255/30 especially with E550 power)?

Look very good! Love wheels with a brushed finish. Out of curiosity, have you thought of putting a slightly taller spring pad in the rear to help cure the rubbing? I'm running 275/30 on a 19x10.5 in the rear with no issues at all, actually thinking of going 285 for the next set. Running h&rs with a 17mm spring pad in the rear, roughly .25 in taller than my stock pad (9mm). Pic below of all 4 spring pads that fit with PNs, I was able to find my stock pad height by using online EPC and my VIN.

Where'd you buy them from? I'd definitely like to do this.
That was the cheapest place I could find shipped to my area (SoCal). Came out to around $25 all in. You could go to your local dealer and order from the parts counter too. List is $10 per side...so will probably be right around the same after tax... I figured why not just get them delivered directly to my house and skip the hassle of the parts counter.

You da best, regardless of what DJ Khalid says. Ignore that if you don't get the reference. Thanks man. I think I'll do this. I've been meaning to do so since Christheswede did his rebuild and mentioned these.

Haha, all I do is win (win, win). You're welcome, hope it gets rid of the rubbing!
Hey bro. Are you running any wheel spacers to achieve those offsets? The reason I'm asking is because on stance wheels website, it shows that they only have +45mm offset available on 8.5 and 9.5 for 5x112 application.

Hey man,
I ordered through Need4Speed, and I believe Stance had these custom cut. I will also throw in, that the rears might want to be brought in very slightly if you are going for the same cut. I have some rubbing issues in the rear on dips and bumps.

You got yourself a nicely done 550 coupe bro. Actually after seeing your car pictures up here, it made me think that it's time for me to switch to different style of wheels and get the same thing as yours even though I got a W212 sedan LOL. Well, I finally placed an order today and I should be rolling out with the new set of wheels and tires tomorrow afternoon.
I got them in gloss black F19x8.5 +35, R19x9.5 +38 with Continental Extreme Contact 255/35r19 and 285/30r19. My car is lowered on H&R springs but not as low as your coupe. Based on my current wheels/ tires set up, I should be fine with no rubbing (fender side/ strut side) with the new set up due to +5 offset more conservative (after wheel offset/ wider tires size calculation).
