Opinion needed (please read text)
So I'm looking for some cheap, good looking everyday wheels. I know a friend that knows a friend selling some 19" wheels non staggered that I was thinking of buying for the E Class to use everyday. He is selling them pretty damn cheap so I'm really considering them. Actually so cheap that I'm basically buying the tires only (if they were new). their knock offs by the way but look pretty legit after comparing them to a friends real LM's on his E46 M3.
I purchase new tires for the 20's every 4-5 months so I'm going 19s to make it easier on the wallet. Once I get a few other things done to the car I'll buy another set of 20's for show.
I would either have the lips polished or chromed or just re powder coat the entire face black to take out that time attack red stripe.
What you guys think?

Personally not my thing, I just think "Acura Integra" or something when I look at 'em. But if you dig 'em go for it. I do personally like the look of 19's on the E-Class though, perfect size for the car IMO.

From the pictures, the rims are bent. That is probably why they are practically free. I would stay away and just get new knock offs without that red stripe. Or simply just get better rims; drive on them; then sell them after you are done - if you keep them in good condition.

Fresh rims are so much better,they're is a real reason you're getting those for a song. And on top of that,they're too much work for used rims. Friends don't let friends buy rims that are bent.......
