Pic Request: Anyone have pics of 19" Monarch RS 63 wheels on non-AMG W211?

Interested in a set of 19" Monarch RS 63 wheels for my 2003 E500, but have not seen pics of this wheel on a W211 except for the E55. I want to make sure that the 19" wheels won't look too big on a W211 without the AMG body kit. The car has been lowered with links. Any pics or wheel suggestions?

Thanks for the tips! After reading through the threads on the RS 63, I see that a lot of people are having trouble with these wheels, they seem susceptible to bends and breaks; the polished steel lip of the wheel is actually a separate thin stamped steel band that causes balance problems when water gets trapped underneath; the lips also ding and dent easily from road debris and pebbles. The lips are not replaceable due to the fact that they are pressed onto the wheel. Other people report that wheel repair shops won't even attempt to repair bends in these wheels. That probably explains why so many people are selling their RS 63s after owning them for a short time. Anyone out there running RS 63s without problems?
