Your car would great with black wheels with a huge polished lip in the rear, also the wheels will stand out big time with those super sized silver AMG brakes you got.

Vic55, Where did you get the wheel locks and how close are your front calipers to you spokes? I want to put a big brake kit but I'm having rubbing issues.

I really don't know that much about Knesis, I know that HRE are very light for being a 3 piece and for how strong they are.

In regards to unsprung weight I can definitely tell a difference. These wheels are about 8lbs lighter in the front and 9lbs in rear versus the factory wheels. So I dropped about 34lbs which, correct me if I am wrong, is like removing a 136lb weight from the car (sprung).

Maybe I will call Evo today or F1 to check out wheel lock prices.

You guys think black ones would look better on black then charcoal???
Here E55 with Charcoal 441R's...I wonder how would they look on black E55...
http://us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg...._1875_13732611
I like those 441R and 448R wheels also...but they are 5-6ibs heavier then competition ones...
Also been told that competition wheels desingned for tracj use and much stronger then regular HRE....
Can it be true???
Here more pics of 441R and 448R...I'm thinking about...
What do myou think those or Competition C20 or C21

or I should go C21 like Vic has???I think the charlcoal looks great on black, its a subtle but nice contrast, it also allows wheels with a thin spoke like the C20 to "show" up a little more. We have done charlcoal on black cars and it looks great (IMO).
