Best Wheels for Black 211 E55...

Which ones???

I really cant decide which wheel should I go for...

I want very nice 19's wheels...but not sure if I should go for polished type or inside black with polished or chromed lips....

I like HRE competition like VIC55 has but not too sure if they would look nice of Black car...

Which wheels do you think would LOOK KILLER on BLACK E55???

I agree with Vic the HRE Comps are very nice, but my bias is towards charcoal paint ala 65 style

Black Wheels

I personally love the black on black, and have a set of 20" HRE 542's on my E55.

I just put HRE's on my 210 55 and just had them powercoated black with the polished lip. I will post some new pics today.
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.

Thanks guys


Vic55...I like your wheels also because they are light!!!

E55Cent...Your wheels look very nice...How much do they weight and price?

SL65 are also very nice but too heavy...

I am too thinking about gun-metal insides...

Guy's!!!

It would be NICE if you could post the pics of the wheels you are suggesting...if possible prices and best place too GET them from...

I only want 19's...Our roads are not that good...20's wouldn't surrvive long...

I love those wheels, in fact they were my wheels You can get them in Hyper Black too which I should have done but its too late now. Whats nice about the STM's are they are not too expensive but are still made of quality and weigh 24lbs up front and 26lbs in the rear.

I put the fronts on my bath room scale with tires it came to 47lbs which is 1lb lighter than the stock 17" E430 sports wheels that I'm using till my HRE's get put back on.
