I have an 04 E55 AMG. I am thinking about purchasing these rims for it in 20's.

What color is your car? Where do you live? I really like the design of the rims, but i'm not a fan of chrome. Also, living in ny, i promised my self i am NEVER getting 20's again (pot hole central). But thats just my .02

I've got a set of Giovannas on my Escalade. Just be careful how you wash/clean them. Use only microfiber towels and mild detergent and they'll sparkle for years (mine look like new and they're almost 5 years old).

Not a fan of chrome wheels on a German car

Are those Advangarde? NICE I like that Concave look...What ET is that front and rear? I'm Ordering a set of Miro Type:111 Matte Blk, but it have to bore out the center hub to 66.6mm for Mercedes Benz.

They're VMR. I actually don't know the offset yet because I have never taken the wheels off the car since I bought it a few months ago. I'll get around to it and let you know.

Thanks, VMR and Advangarde are similar, but Advangarde is a little bit stronger and lighter than VMR.
My guess the ET show on the pictures is front ET.35mm and rear ET. 35-40mm

But it look really Sharp! I like that concave look...

They're nice, but keep in mind that the extra spokes are a pain to clean compared with the simpler design of the AMG rims.
