looks great. Do you mind me asking where you got them from and for how much? Offset and size? I emailed Luke at Tirerack about these wheels about a month ago and he said that they are not a good fit for the E55.

wheels look hot but i think you have to lower your car to have full effect of the wheels.

Looks fantastic!

I had the 19's on my 545i 6sp, and I've got the 20's on my M5, and I think they're the best wheels you can buy. Quite expensive, but BBS forges both the center and rim sections - the only 2-piece that I know of where the rim is forged. Very light and very strong - and IMO the best looking as well. The 'diamond black' finish completely hides any brake dust. Nice choice!

I am not going to lower it. I am pleased with the height and the stock AMG suspension. For an every day driver, it is a great car.

My thoughts exactly, I think those wheels look superb on that color, I believe that is Flint Grey, it couldn't look any better!
