E55 rims

I've viewed the twin spoked AMG rims normally available and would fit the
E320 and have thought about getting these. But was walking around during
lunch at work and saw twin spoked for E55 / C55 which had similar twin
spokes but they were flatter....ie w/o the bend as they joined the rim.
Thought these looked much nicer.

Anyone know if these will fit my 99 E320 with the proper lugs included ? I'm
thinking 17 or 18" and max 8.5" width on the rims.

what is available at TireRack...
203


209



what I saw....

They should fit if the offset is correct, somewhere around 35mm or so. If not you might need spacers but most likely not.

If I recall correctly, that 3rd style of twin spokes that you saw have a different lug bolt size. On what kind of Benz did you see them? Rims from Benzes 2003 or newer, except for the C and CLK, generally do not fit our W210 b/c of the lug bolts.

You might be right I think the older benz's use a 12x1.5 bolt and the newer a 14x1.5 but many people have done it and had custom bolts made or had the 14x.1.5 milled down by a machine shop

The ones in the second pic are hard to find in the 18". My bud Ross at www.statusimports.com sell those in 18. I started to get a set for my E55 but they only come in 18x7.5 front and 18X8.5 rear using 12x1.5 bolts.
