Can someone tell meweight of the stock AMG/E55 eheels?I am trying to get some aftermarket wheels,but dont want to get any that are too heavy...........which could result in a loss of performance.

 

I get these direct wholesale and they will ship to you. Staggered 19x9.5 > 27 lbs. Offset 35 and 19x8.5 > 25 lbs Offset 32. These are pressure cast which are lighter and stonger and not poured cast like oem AMG and TSW bremma etc. They are also TU approved. These have a slightly bigger lip then the Tsw bremma front and rear. You will not see these exact wheels in any retail shop.

They are 1100 + 100 for shipping. I have them now on my S Class.. Here is a pic with the rivets drilled out before I painted them.. Them come in hyper silver (pictured) I painted mine dark grey metallic. I will post my new wheel pics tomorrow.

 

The stock E55 wheels weigh about 29 pounds Front and 30 pounds Rear for just the wheels not including tires.

 

Thanks for the weight on the wheels,now i know the weight i have to beat.
Also i would like to know how to get a set of those wheels.......they look way cool.Tell me also the size tire you are running,if they are rubbing,and do the new wheel and tire combo enhance your car looks and performance.

 

My Iforge daytonas 19s are 23 and 26 but with the larger rubber 19s and 275s in rear the overall weight tires/wheels are 51 and 54 -- basically stock :-(

 

E55 Baller......can I See Some Pictures Of Your Wheels?

 

Here are the wheels painted and mounted on my S500

 

The weels look good,much better on the car............but meaning no offence ,i like the looks of a 3-4" lip on the rear.I gives the car a more agressive stance.

 

benzondubz: do you have a full picture of your car with those wheels? looks good

 

benzondubz-
I didn't catch it - or I'm jsut being stupid - but what color is the paint that you painted them with? Is that Tectite Grey? Or what?

Looks good BTW - but you knew that already

 

After looking at the rims benzondubs has, I want a set too. As a matter of fact, those are perfect.

 

Benzo, those look great. Can you give us all (or pm me) the details for getting this wheel.

 

Holy batman sploogables!!

Those are 19s right?

 

can you get some that fit a 2004 CL55?

 

Damn, undercut Benzno by $500.00.

Notice the JWL and VIA moulded on the wheel in the first pic that is the same as mine. I got mine from AMERICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS. They are made by OEM Performance Products.
I'm not trying to undercut you, I just want a deal and I get a better deal if I buy more.. I just bought one set for my CL that I am selling, trust me they are the same wheels. I need another set for my S-class so I can keep the real amg rims.

Sorry, Ricky

Not trying make money just trying to bring a good offer to other members. I was not making money...
Forget it, I'll just pay the extra 85 bucks and buy one set.

See what you get trying to save a buck..
I'll delete my post.

iam looking forward in purchasing the SL 65 rims for my SLK 55 , do you think its a good idea? the car has a lot of torque and doesn't grip that well when stepping on it... and I want more feedback from the steering wheel, do you think 19'' compared to the stock 18'' is a good leap over?

 

Check the R171 forums. Someone bought the SL65 rims and they said they don't fit.

 

That looks hot but it looks almost too small...

 

The aftermarket ones look smaller due to the lip, they are made differently than the amg originals. You would need the 20" version for the center splitspoke section to look the same as the amg rims.
