Forgiato?

I am looking at some rims to make my E550 look even more amazing than it currently does.

I haven't had time to go to a shop and look around, but I found these.

I know they are not cheap, but which model of Forgiato are these?

Any idea??

Your very welcome.. they should be significantly cheaper than forgiato. Also I dont know if your willing to buy used, but this style has been around for a few years now soo im sure you can find a decent used set for cheap.

That's actually what I was hoping to do granted they are not all beat up. I think 19s are big enough, glass black. My car sits at factory height. I'd just need to figure out the offset and all that good stuff.

I would do research on this manufacturer before giving them any $$$.

Are they that bad? I have read reviews on both ends of the spectrum. Unfortunately more bad than good.

From what i heard, when these wheels were first being produced they were taking forever to get them out to the customer 0ver 8 weeks, and terrible customer service. but if your looking for a used pair you should have no issues.

Do you think a forum is my best bet to find some used ones?

If you go with large diameter rims and low profile tires, be very careful - one pothole or a raised edge in the road surface is all it takes to bend a rim.

That was my main concern, 19s with "somewhat" of some tire, not pencil thin, but not thick either
