I think the CLS look great on the w211. However, he BBS CH would be different. Don't know how they would look on a w211. Here is a pic of my M3 with them on:

I think a BBS mesh wheel is a classic look on a benz. I can remember when alot of 126 S-class cars in germany had them. I always liked the look.

BBS CH Hands down! You have a high performance car and should only be complemented by the best!

I almost went with the AMG 2-piece wheel, great look and timeless.

I personally like all BBS wheels. I think the LMs are the best match for the W211.

I like those BBS LM's on the Silver E55 you could always powder coat the centers to Anthratice Grey it would look even better to contrast the Silver Amg Calipers

IMO the CH is a nice wheel, I had them on my B4 S4 but they don't fit the lines of the E55 well. Again these are my thoughts- they dont have a lip and are basically face forward. The E55 is a larger midsize sedan and I like to see aggressive wheels with bigger lips in the rear than the front which you wont get with the CH. The CH works better on coupes and smaller cars.
