While waiting for my 3pc wheels, I bought another set.

Guys, I need help. I need someone to hold onto my bank account and credit cards for a while. While waiting for my VIP Modulars, I purchased yet another set of wheels. I got a set of 18" OEM E63 (P30 Option) wheels w/tires. This will give me 3 full sets. These new ones are just like the normal E63 wheels, except they're 2pc. Somebody please give me the number to mod-a-holics anonymous.

Here are the VIPs (Shipping 7/7)



And here are the E63 (P30) Shipping today






I guess I have a sick set of winter wheels now.

I need some serious counseling. I had to break it to my wife and it went a little something like this:

Benz-O-Rama - Honey, I've got something to tell you
Mrs. Benz-O-Rama - She better have been over 18
Benz-O-Rama - No, no no...nothing like that.
Mrs. Benz-O-Rama - Well?
Benz-O-Rama - I just bought another set of wheels for the E-Class
Mrs. Benz-O-Rama - So let me get this straight. You bought another set of wheels for your car before for the ones you just bought even showed up?
Benz-O-Rama - uh-huh
Mrs. Benz-O-Rama - Why in the hell.....(Gets inturrupted)
Benz-O-Rama - Well, I needed a set of winter wheels anyway because the stock ones look stupid with the AMG kit
Mrs. Benz-O-Rama - My birthday is in 3 weeks. You better bring it, buddy!
Benz-O-Rama - Aw baby, you know I always "bring it"
Mrs. Benz-O-Rama - I wish you told me you had sex with an 18 year old. I'd get a 4 carat diamond out of that. Is it too late to send the wheels back and find a college chick?

My wife rocks!

BTW, the VIPs are 19's. So, I've got my stock 17" fat fives, 18" E63 (P30) and 19" VIP Modulars.


Clayton - are you buying Eric's VIPs?
Nope, these are new construction.

I think...

I should maybe spend some time off of this forum so I don't catch the mod. bug. I think I've been experiencing some symptoms lately.

RE: Wheel Collecting

Those E63 P30 wheels look nice.

I can relate to how you feel.

I have a complete spare 18 inch CLS wheel set with factory Michelins and also the complete spare 18 inch 10 spoke wheel set with factory Michelins that came with my 550. Both are collecting dust in the attic. I'd consider parting with either set if you want or need to add to your collection.

I guess that makes us more or less equally wheel crazy.

Do post some pics of the P30 wheels on your car, they will look right at home with the recent bumper mods.

I get them tomorrow. Let me slap em on my ride and see how in love with them I am. If not, the trade is a possibility. We'll see. Funny, I haven't even gotten them yet and I already have 3 people wanting to buy them.

These are very rare wheels.

Dayam Clayton you are baller if you are managing 3 sets of baller rims with a new born.

Why'd you go 19" VIP modular VR-05's are my favorite rims in the market right now. hopefully they fit a c-class so i can buy them off you when you are bored again and on a new set of rims.

Yeah, well I figure it's easier to ask forgiveness from my wife than ask for permission.

I went with 19's because this is my daily driver and 20's IMO ride way too rough. Hell, 19's even ride harsh but are right on the cusp of being uncomfortable. But seeing how I have 17's, 18's and 19's now, I can change them with my mood.

I ended up cancelling them and ordering VIP's. After 14 weeks I asked for a refund.

My E63 wheels came in but I'm in Alabama right now for a family emergency. I'll slap them on when I get back. Typing this from my phone right now.

Alabama is a wild place. WILD!
