Wheels decision... HRE or Modulare?
I am now facing a decision to replace the CLS55 AMG wheels with either the HRE 547 or the Modulare M3 (black finish)... 
Let me know which one you guys like and why? Anyone know much about Modulare??? I know HRE's legendary reputation and I am leaning toward the HRE but I also like the M3 due to its agressive lip configuration... Thanks again for your suggestion / comment.
Wheel's configuration will be 19x8.5 & 19x10 w/255/35 & 285/30.

Well, those are two totally different looks IMO. Personally I would go with HRE, but I don't like the 547. My reason is simple... just ordered a set of AVUS and they didn't fit the car correctly. HRE is a custom (made to order) wheel that is hub centric (AVUS is not and caused major wheel vibration). Needless to say, I have since returned the AVUS and ordered a set of HRE 840r's. I don't know too much about Modulare, I'm just telling you what happened when I choose another wheel over HRE.

If you're just choosing from those two designs i would go for the modulare m3. They look better on the cls IMO, i think the 547R's are better suited for smaller cars such as the clk or c class. Why don't you go for 20's?

I am sorry to hear that those AVUS wheels did not work out for you but I think the 840r's are a nicer looking wheel. Good choice.

Do you guys know how much lip is on the front/rear of the HRE 547R's w/ the 19x8.5 & 19x10 configuration? Thanks...

I found these wheels which look so similar to the HRE 948R and I bet they are cheaper. Dont they look great. Has anyone ever bought from this company named DVINCI "Forgiato" wheel model OTTO. Here is a comparisin with the HRE.

Go for M3's...they would look great + I havent seen E55 with M3's on...Unique...only CLS55 and they looked awesome...
Been told by many Wheel experts that Modulare just as good as HRE's in all terms...
Wanted M3's myself but got a screamiong deal on UL's...
Make sure you use right tuner to get proper sizing and offets for E55...

What is the best tire size for 20 x 9.0 front and 20 x 10 rear! I am looking for the thickest tire possible without rubbing or rolling my fenders!
I like the Michilin Pilot Sport 2...
Also could 10.5 in the rear fit good?
