Pics of my cheap wheels... W211 E55

Those damn valets curbed my HRE's and since I didn't have my factory set, I needed a nice cheap replacement set until mine come back in two weeks. This is by no means a set I would consider for daily use but I can not really complain, they actually look OK and are dirt cheap. When I dump this car Ill put these ones on and sell my HRE's. They are heavy TSW's 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 and weigh in around 28lbs in the front and 30 lbs in the rear. If you do some searching I bet you could get these for 1k for a set.

They look good. Too bad they dont make them in 18s so we can rock them for BFG drag radials to swap out for the dragstrip.

dont look too bad for what they are. kinda on the heavy side though but for that cheap who cares.

my buddy just got some 19s off of ebay for 900 for his m3 and while they arent nice at all, they really are a pretty good bargain so as long as they work right..

The damage wasnt that bad but bad enough and I hate curbed wheels. I did need a set of wheels anyways for back up and these were perfect.

Yeah they are tanks coming off 20lb HRE's but in reality they are about the same weight as the factory 18's...

Yes they do, I bought my HRE's through Evo so they are handling the repairs and hooked me up with the set of TSW's.

Well, I'm getting tired of trying to find just the right wheels so maybe I'll just pick something like those for the time being... I don't like driving cars STOCK... even though it is an E55! I wonder if they have the Brabus knockoffs?

Yup.. I'm waiting on a few "key" components to come out of that shop. I hear your car is going to be one of the "test mules" for at least one of the peices I am waiting on.. Damn I wish I lived in Cali!!!

Just got confirmation that my rotors and ported TB are being shipped tomorrow.

What are you waiting on from Germany? Come on.. Don't hold back on me. You can PM if you dont want to publicize it.

No spacers, just a clean fitment.
