Question for ROCK

Hi, i am looking at getting a set of bbs lm's. For me these are the best looking wheels on a 55. What sizes do you use(wheel & tire)? Did you have to do any mods on the car to accept these?
Regards
Dan

Hi Dan,

This is the thread for the BBS LMs I placed on my car:https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...hlight=BBS+LMs

No mods or spacers are needed. It does come with centering rings to align them to the hub. I know they also come in 20" but I am not sure about fitment on the W211 E55. If you want to use a Mercedes center cap instead of the BBS cap you will need to do some extra work.

Hi Rock
Thanks for the link, I get the wheels here in S.A. for about 5400usd at current exchange. Does this sound right?
Thanks again
Dan

With tires I think the general range is $5,800-$6,200.
