this is the next wheel......I think....
drivers......
it's almost time to start the holidays: I'll go first........
planning on a different look for my E class.......and wanted to poll some
opinions on these P47SC's in a 19 x whatever
they have a nice mellow look and still have the good 'ole 5 spoke look that usually looks good on Mercedes.......the finish is what I'm kind of puzzled on for the moment.......but I'm not in a hurry; it'll come to me.......
I have been keeping my eye out for other wheels too.......it's just HRE seems to have all the bases covered when it comes to design...........
it's not like I haven't considered other wheels.......they just seem to have many styles that work very well......
this P45SC is similar but without the cut outs.....

We all know you can't go wrong with HRE and these look nice.
Not for me though. They look too much like stock wheels.
If I'm going to blow a few thousand bucks on wheels, they'd better look custom and have some pop.
Nothing wrong with looking stock but why spend big bucks when stock already looks like this?

Hype, if you get these, it will be your 3rd set of HRE's? Plus all your other wheels you have sitting around. With the money you spent on all of them, could you imagine how nice of a garage you could have???? lol

My vote is for the top model with split spokes and in that finish. The chrome lip will be a PITA to clean and keep that way. Of course you enough sets that you can send them in once a month for cleaning like I do my sport coats.
You going the staggered route? 9.5" in the rear or 10" then comes tires...how much stretch are you going for? BTW - you know we have a member for sale section to help you purge when ready...

Now this is more like it!
Still classy but definitely a custom look.
To the guy who said chrome lips are a pain to clean....I don't get it. Chrome lips are mandatory in my book. Easy to clean and care for. Regular wax couple times a year and can be wiped without scratching regularly. The chrome makes them more durable against curb rash as well. The big plus, a look that pops and is worthy of the cash spent on wheels.

my black wheels were 5k and the ones on my cls were also 5ish, after a discount from the tire guys......

don't think I'll stagger them........probably 19's......or maybe 18's again.....
depending on the model I choose

Hype - since you are thinking about going to 19's why not put the CLS wheels on the E to test drive the size / comfort for a week or two before deciding. You might find that it's no better / worse than the 20's and save yourself the hassle of getting 2 sets of the same wheel in different sizes.
Full disclosure: I would also get to see how well the CLS wheels fill out the fenders on a stock height car.

that isn't a bad idea point, but the wheels are staggered.....and I'm uncertain if they'd fit/work and not burn my transfer case up........
not planning on getting 20's either........that's just too big for me.....
