Ok guys. You have been great with the feedback and I am getting close to pulling the trigger. The car is a DD that I enjoy on the occasional back road and straight. I plan to go to run 1/4miles and a few track days here and ther, but I do not care about the setup for those times. I need a setup that is civil for daily use but still performance oriented.

Here is what I am thinking to get:

I love JAY55s black HRE 840Rs.
I also like the CLS55 rims.

I wanted to stay with 18"s and go wider, but am willing to go as big as 19"s. 20"s are a bit much for me. The straight line on this car is already sooo stable and I really don't want even less agility than I already have. I definitely want wider (1/2 inch minimum on each end). I would prefer fatter 18s to thinner 19s, if that makes any sense.

Here's the help I need:

What specifications do I want to look for? 3 piece? forged? weight? etc.

What wheel options do folks advise? I need exact sizes and offsets to be clear.

If I do go with HREs, are the 840Rs the "best"? I like the 845R looks. I also like their "competition" line, but don't understand the technical aspects of the diferences between all the series.

I plan to get the appropriate PS2s to go with it, so let me know what sizes you guys like and why??

Thanks fellas!!

Oh yeah, pics would be great!!

Track Day: One piece forged would be the best bet, e.g. Carlsson 1/16UL, with appropriate track or drag tires. To say the truth, larger rims are more for show than anything else.

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a set of 19" 840R + PS2 for summer use too. I wanted the center painted charcoal, but wife like it in silver, so we tossed a coin, and yeah, the wife won.

buy my kinesis LOL

I am going with charcoal / black center. Wife gets no vote on this one. What size and offset is offered? What size PS2s?

Get HRE or go home.

^^lol

Have you ever heard of Ronal wheels? Pimp factor is far better then HRE and I would say build quality is alot better too



Helps me get all the ladies with those on my car

BlackC230Coupe

Shiat! I stand corrected, those are wheels i would pick over HRE!

Bigdot

OMFG those are awsome!

AMG_55

Fikse

they do match your car......

BlackC230Coupe

I wonder if they come in 19x13. I have a feeling they would look nice with the stock tires on the rears only of my car!

I actually knew a guy that had the teddy bear rims back in high school. He was such a pimp, the girls loved them.

jangy

You guys are killing me!!!

I know to get the HREs, but does it matter which model?

How about size? Offset, etc?

The Comp series are supposed to be sturdier than the 8 series

You sure he wasn't ?

Here's some Iforged Daytona on mine: 19x9 front 19x10 rear
Michelin PS2's sized 245/35/19 front 275/30/19 rear

jangy

Those look nice. Do you know what the difference in overall diameter is from the stock setup?

dragonAMG

Those look very nice! How are iForged in comparison to HRE?

vraa

I prefer HRE over iForged simply because of some issues iForged has had.. but if you get a good dealer for iForged then everything is fine.

Shoot an e-mail to info@euroteckmotorsports.com if you're looking for some HRE's or iForged. Great prices, and fantastic service.

I too have heard countless horror stories from Iforged. All from random people to friends...Some got 2 different rear wheels widths, others ordered 18 inch wheels and got 19's and such.

Personally I would take HRE over Iforgery anytime, anywhere. And plus HRE service is considerablely better...

Just my 2 cents...

dragonAMG

Cool... nough said. LOL

OFF TOPIC - what size are the stock w211 E55 AMG wheels?

PPN

All wheel companies have their problems. All my HREs have the classic clear coat peeling problem. For a "premium" rim they sure aren't as good as the Euro or Japanese guys.

There should be no difference in diameter if you use 245/35/19 front 275/30/19 rear.

HRE now only powder coats their wheels that use to just have the regular paint finish.
