E55 AMG
At least there is a 1/24th scale platic model kit of the w210 E55 made by Fujimi. There is also an udpated 2000+ face lifted version of the w210 in 1/18th scale diecast as well.
Here's a photo of my personal collection. I custom built the '99 spec. E55 model on the left (based on the E320 diecast). The one on the right is the Fujimi 1/24 scale plastic kit, built & painted to match my full size version.

On the E320 diecast, how did you change the wheels, where did you find them?

Regarding my 1/18 diecast, it actually took 3 cars to make it. The E320, a C36 (which is where I got the wheels), and a CLK55 (which is where I got the engine). I added carbon fibre trim to the B-pilliars, painted the front spoiler, side skirts, and rear to emulate the AMG areo package, and added the "E55" and "/////AMG" logos as appropriate. Also changed the interior trim to two tone AMG black & silver, and added AMG tail pipes at the rear.

Yeah, I've had bad luck with hot wheels. Not very good quality in my opinion either. UT models looks like they do some very nice work. AutoArt has been my personal favorite because they pay very close attention to detail and the cars are excellent quality. I really want the Ferrari Enzo...but Hot Wheels has the sole rights to make it.
