What kind of wheels are these?

Hi all!!
I am new to MBworld as well as AMG cars. Today, I purchased my first E55 here in Hong Kong after selling my GT3.
The E55 I bot today (used) came with these rims. Can anyone tell me which type they are? They look like Carlsson, but not quite like the ones I see on Carlsson website...
Thanks!
Jack

You're leaving too much to the imagination big guy.

They look like the SL55 AMG's Turbines to me.

I don't like them that much.... but i have to wait a bit b4 I can spend more $$. This 2003 costs 110K usd. (cars in HK is super expensive.) New cars costs 100% more because of first time registration fee. Then the fee gets carried forwarded along with depreciation....

Yup, SL55, or at least SL55-"style" wheels. I like how they look on the SL55, but can't say the same for the E55.
Congrats on your new car!!

Scorchie had them on his E55 for a bit and they actually looked pretty mean.

Sideview.. I don't mind if it's from a real SL55 as long as it's not some fake wheels.

yes, these are one of those "no credit no cost" optional wheels for the SL55. personally, i think the twin 5 spoke looks better. regardless, congrats on the car.

Definitely "take-off" SL55 originals. See the AMG logo embossed into the rim at "6 o'clock" Offset is ET30F and ET33 R with 8.5 and 9.5" width respectively.
They fit very well, I bet. I have SL 55 Type 3 take off wheels on my E55.

I think they look fine too, but a better wheel choice is def. out there.

Jack, hope you are enjoying the E55. The more important question, what tires do you have on the wheels and any interior shots?

they have the continental tires on them. I will take some interior shots very soon. but it doesn't have COMAND and panaromic roof.. they definitely can be nice options...
