Talking I got new wheels FINALLY

I finally got new wheels...I got a set of 17" monoblock replicas....Nothing special but I HATE the stock wheels on my car.....I just never got into them...These things look much better and I cant wait to get them all on the car....I install only 1 tonight before getting bit by some mosquitos so i called it quits till the morning...I will get pics of the wheels tomorrow to show....To bad they are not 18 inch staggerd monoblocks I just dont have the money to spend right now on wheels, and I needed something to get me around for now that looked better then what I have now...These will have to do for awhile till i can afford for better.

I looks very nice, all it needs now is to be dropped an inch or so, you should be able to do that for 400 bucks os may be less (H&R springs)

Do you have any pics of before the wheels?

Edit: It doesn't seem to have 2002 e55 tail lights, those look like the ones on my 1999 E55, is your signature correct?

I agree with you and Merc1...It needs a drop BAD...I use to have H&R springs but sold them cause i was selling the car...Now since im keeping the car i need to get those suckers back...

Your right in the sig...I sold my E55 taillights when i was selling my car I'm going to update my sig now....thanks for catching that!

I will post the before and after pics.

There's a set of H&R's for sale on ebay right now! I think they might still be on there for like $170 bucks. Good luck brotha...Looks better than before, will look even better once it's dropped!

DEFINATELY, looks better, when comparing you can see before pic wheels looks small...

I guess drop is next, like Jimmy said you can find them on E Bay.. I have seen them go cheap.

good luck
