I like these as well. The problem is the offset. Many here say they won't work but the sit says they will fit flush. Anywhere else to get these with a higher offset or will these work fine?

I have OZ Opera PL on SL in 20s, and HRE 544R on E coupe in 20s. Love both. Heads turn each time I'm on the road ( I'm in SW FL with lots of exotics, yet people still look at my vanilla MBs with "2 decades old wheels").

they're not that bad, a different look you know?
seems like EVERYONE has the five spokers, myslef included, but I have some
10 spokers on my amg that look brillant! and 2012's are coming with 10 spokers
too...(amg's)....it would look good and different from the rest of us if you got the 'full face'
wheels.........
the Vossens you mentioned(
) are a very good choice too........have some of those and love them....
I really like this concave business
those cv1's look so good on my car!
make sure to post up when you're done!

The cv3's spokes look too thin IMO for this car. I like the five spoke look since they are easy to clean but I haven't found one that I really liked other than this full face ones. I'm still leaning toward the ones in the link since they are different and it's not that dramatic of a full face.
Those that run 20's, do you recommend a drop? I have a sport and have some h&r's on order

I'm not a fan of those wheels even on that car. The face is too big and it has no other design to it. The ones i like, imo are just fatter 5 spokes and they aren't flat. If i did get them, I think i would powder coat the barrel part black. Still not sure though. I don't really know what kind of wheels will look good on this car. Based on what others have here, I think most tiny. the problem for me is that i don't really see this car as sporty but more classy. I think the a5 and the 5 series have a much more sporty look and sportier wheels will work well with those cars.

CV3
I think full face wheels are fine on the W212 since its an even bigger car and a proper VIP platform. It also will help cover up smaller brakes. A big open face wheel shows brakes. I agree there are more lines but I think a full face is fine.

I really like the cv1's. Those are my favorite out of the vossen wheels. The cv2's don't look that bad either. Any new designs planned in the near future?

Great find, hype. Stunning. Simply stunning. A full face wheel on a modern MB.
I have OZ Opera PL on SL in 20s, and HRE 544R on E coupe in 20s. Love both. Heads turn each time I'm on the road ( I'm in SW FL with lots of exotics, yet people still look at my vanilla MBs with "2 decades old wheels").

I have the same setup with 20x9 in front and back and have mine lowered. No rubbing whatsoever.
I'd keep looking for wheels.....pass on the full (fuller) hub...

Thanks! How have your 20's been in general here in the bay area? I live in the bay area as well and I know for the most part our roads are decent.

OT: tires.
While 265/30-20 rear is the size I'd use, I would never use 245/30-20 front. Minimum 255/30-20 or better yet 235/35-20. As was discussed many times here before, the ideal(safe) front size of 245/35-20 unfortunately produces some rubbing.

Sorry but pass on OPs first set of wheels.
I like the first 2 posted/made by Vossens...
There are a ton of better options out there. If you are gonna spend the cash, do it right.
Otherwise stay stock.

I'm happy with them...I thought I would lose more comfort with 20's. And you are fine with 245/30-20 up front....no rubbing or safety issues.

Both of these wheels come on the CL class and after seeing a few pics with both styles of wheels on them, I decided to go with my second choice ( the black split fork ones). I think those will look nicer overall and the black will match the other gloss black parts and will be much eaiser to wash. I'm going to chance it with 35 offset ( shops all said they will fit). My h&r springs are in so I'll install those first and then get the wheels so I don't have any rubbing issues with the tires later.

Japan's Wald Duchatlet II (very hard to find and very similar to now discontinued HRE 544R and OZ Opera II). Same very expensive pricing as HRE.

I just wanted to get some opinions on these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-SILVER-WH...b333#vi-ilComp
Since the E class is a fairly long car, I feel these "chunky" wheels will go well. I'm not sure what era these are from though.

Was out of town and looked at the springs, only to find they are for the coupe. I'll be sending these back but it got me thinking if i really want to lower it?
Seems like the recommended tires will be a bit taller. Will that make the gap less noticeable?
