I actually think it looks fine as long as it doesn't say AMG anywhere; lots of rims look alike.

Looks good to me. I've seen this done on alot of different cars. People usually have the AMG stamping if the wheels are real shaved off by a local shop

that GS looks alright.

those don't look like OEM E55 wheels or OEM AMG wheels. They are probably ASA or TSW reps.

Not quite a fake E AMG since they're not AMG wheels.... they're aftermarket.

Would OEM MB wheels even fit a Lexus? No problems with hubs or offsets or bolt patterns?

Looks like TSW Bremmas to me. Maybe even photochopped?

The guy wanted something stock size and likes the look of AMG wheels. Good taste and AMG wheels look superb. They are TSWs I think.

Not sure what is so fake, the E and GS look nothing alike (Both look great) and he is not acting like its an E-class.
