Just put them on yesterday and love 'em! Not lowering the car because I have to drive in Siberia aka Midwest Winters. They are Ace Convex 20" staggered setup. Thanks to this board for all the help and resources to find the right wheel/tire sizes!
I think it looks great! I would swap out the center caps for silver ones which will blend in better with the rest of the wheel. Great selection, it's got that great oem-ish look to them.

Thank you. I was trying to keep the oem look with the caps but I might give the silver ones a try later.
I also have the e63 grille to install and was thinking of painting the chrome lower lip black instead but I'm torn.
These wheels are absolutely beautiful but in my opinion they would look even better with 18" size. I'm not really for the cart wheel looks as it does not fit this car. But this is just my opinion.
I wish these wheel makers would tune it down from the over sized rims to the original sizes for the cars like the car maker made it.

Tires are a Chinese brand called Durun. I looked everywhere for a non directional tire in the sizes I need and didn't want to mix and match brands. These have a really nice pattern and the reviews were really good.

I also bought oem tpms sensors but have yet to get them to sync properly.
Looks great. I'd definitely put an E63 gill in there.
My first thought was to suggest you wrap the chrome lower lip in black - that way it's easily removed later, and it will give a layer of protection as well. But your wheels are bright so I think it and the window trim looks fine in chrome.

The wrap is a good idea. I will probably do the back piece in the rear as well
man, they look great, I imagine those spokes catch and reflect a lot of light........I always notice that on other cars as I can never see mine lol........looks like a nice choice

Thanks for all the compliments! I appreciate it. I will measure the tire gap when I get a chance. By eyeballing it, I'd say 2". I could be way off though.
I really love my car now! Not trying to be annoying with more pics but I am very happy with the way they turned out. It's always a little scary ordering something that you can't really return if it sucks.

Thats true! Btw I am pretty impressed with the Chinese tires. They are very quiet and handle well. I don't plan to go 180 mph with them but I believe they are Z rated.
The car goes into the body shop Monday to repair the damage from a collision (see my other post about the bumper). While its there, the E63 grille will be installed and I will wrap the lower front bumper lip. I will probably have the side skirt inserts wrapped in black as well. Just not sure what to do with the rear bumper trim.
