Wheels these wheels fit?
Hey guys I'm Selling my 06 E55 and I'm getting a 2011E-350 Bluetec....
I was wondering if the 20" Monarch wheels that I have on my E55 will fit the new 2011 E-350?? The front tires are 245/30R20 and the rear are 285/25R20..
Anyone knows?

I'm eyeing an E55 CHERRY condition right now as a "second car". I just know that I couldn't do it, as considering that I put performance on the back-burner, I'd still keep the W212 as my "pretty car", and the W211 E55 would be delegated to work-horse. Man would those be some FUN and comfy work-horse miles on it, but that powertrain, gas mileage, and potential reliability/upkeep just doesn't work for what I need it for. Now if I were to reverse the roles, and put the W212 as work-horse (would go over miles on the Lease, so no go anyway), and keep the E55 as the pampered car, then it would work.... But I don't want to do it like that.

Agreed! Bang for the buck is second to none! There's only one thing keeping me away (and keeping the resale of AMG's plummeted down) and that is indeed: Reliability/Upkeep on a non Warrantee'd one. It's kind of like gambling or playing the Stock Market in that sense.

ohh.. and the reason I sold the E55.. is b/c they offered a good bit $$ for it... and I was do a new brake job and service C... so there is like an additional $2k of savings there...
Im leasing the E-350 with no money down and only paying $450 for 24 months for a nicely equiped car is a steal... after the 24 months Im going to be looking at a GT-R so it works out for me.... save some $$ in the mean time and when Im ready for the GT-R I don't have to worry about trying to sell the E55... I didn't want to do the change but financially it makes sense right now....

KA - LOL! You just got that car!
If I had the money to burn, I would be doing the same. Unfortunately with the extra upkeep and the possibility for big $$$ repairs / airmatics and whatnot, can NOT afford it.

Lol, yeah I know. I sold my Chevy and due to lots of high mileage driving, I kinda need another car again (unless I just use the E and go over in mileage), plus, I kinda want another one.
Considering I just sunk about $7K in the Stock Market in these past few tumultuous weeks, I figure I should just go back to doing what I do best with my money: Spending it on cars only. Simple.

Haha. Yeah, gonna chalk it up to a "learning experience" (I thought that's what I said after I sold and was out $5K last week, lol).
Oh well, there's always next time.
