help! 01 e55

Okay so I was driving, esp off busted a uturn went over a curb (dont ask why), pretty sure my rims are damaged and was wondering if I should get them fixed , buy two new ones or what. vibration on the rims when I hit 50-60.

second, as far as car audio goes, the douche who had purchased my e55 new did not get the bose audio package, therefore I have a car with four pathetic speakers. anyone upgrade their stuff? and if so what did you use and how does it sound.

third, lcd pixels on the dash are tripping out and was wondering if anyone new of a cheap fix.

aandd fourth, those of you who have seen "alexbenz"'s car, does anyone know where to get that diffuser on the rear, i've searched the seas and sky's and found nothing for the w210.

Thanks
Rashad

I think Alexbenz rear with the quad exhaust is a custom setup not available anywhere, and would need to be fabricated just for your car.

Get them fixed or try to find some used ones. New one will cost about $600 each from dealer.

AFAIK, the Bose Premium sound system was standard on w210 E55’s.

hey, yeah i'm pretty sure. i popped open my covers in the rear to find that there is no wiring or speakers, the component speaker system wasn't there, nothing in the dash. 4 speakers total (just the doors).

I just finished my sound system, 2 10" Infinity Kappa Perfect subs, kappa perfect component system, kappa perfect rear speakers.. it sounds like a champ now.

i'm looking for some brabus monoblock iv rims. hopefully something will float my way for cheap.

as far as the rear exhaust goes i think i'm going to make it look like an M5 in the rear.
