The stock 5 spoke look much better than those. They look so small compared to your stock rims. If I was you, I would return or sell those rims fast and put the stock ones back on or put some 19 deep dish rims..

H ona H: Ride quality did suffer alittle as I can tell it's a stiffer ride. Decided to go with the gunmetal like center to go with my Tectite Grey and I've always liked the polished lip when I had the Vette. My buddy’s C5 with deep lip (CCWs):
I like the look of 19's and 20's but ride will suffer and performance will suffer with the heavier rims which I didn't want.

JamE55: :p
Tezta: Jury still out on the Neros. Reason I went with Pirelli PZeros is because I had the PZero Rosso on my Vette in 315/30/18s and were good. Here are a pic of the Rossos when I had my Vette:
It didn't handle all the power but overall it performed very well. The Neros are a step down than the Rossos in dry performance but makes up in comfort and wet performance (perfect in my case as mine is only a E500). If I had the E55, I would probably have gotten the Pilots, Rossos, S03, or Nitto Drags or Extreme.

Now you're killing me! I am likely doing some new 18's for the summer but can't decide on a rim. I had BBS-RXII's on the S4 and loved them but not sure if they are the right look on the E500. I'm leaning towards the AMG double spokes until I find something else.
What brand of rims are those? Did i miss that info in your post? I think they look great, esp with the Tectite. Have fun!!
