Thanks E55 ROCKET ( PICS )

Thanks to E55 ROCKET, he reminded me how good the black 542R's look on the E55 when I had them, so I decided to put them back on for a little while. I'm going to keep these on until my new wheels come in.

Here are the pics...

Are you finally ready to spill the beans on what wheels you are waiting for? Can't really imagine a wheel that looks much better than the 542R's.

I have them sitting in my garage. When I first saw the car without the fogs, I thought it looked kind of good. So I just decided to keep them out.

My wheels are a 20x9F and a 20x10R. I am running Toyo Proxes T1-S with 245/35/20F and a 275/30/20R. I am running this because when I get my rims, they didn't offer the 25 series tire in this size.

I have a WALD emblem. It's a chrome ring with a solid black center. It says WALD around the chrome ring. I'll try to get a close pic of it later when I can.
