EXE Konkave and Konvex wheels

I'm sorry if you guys don't like these wheels, but I kinda like them, the EXE Konkave and Konvex wheels. Which ones would look better on the black 2000 55? I don't have time to put the pictures up, but they are at www.exewheels.com. I would greatly appreciate everyones opinion on this matter.

I was expecting to see some nasty rims, but they're not bad looking at all. While I normally lean towards rims with lips (my Iforged Daytonas have 4" of lip)I think the Konvex would look better than the Konkave on a W210 E55.

Well, like I said, I like them. And I'm glad someone else thinks there not bad. I said that because a guy I work with said, after showing them to him, they were ugly. But he is one of the rednecks from northern New York, kinda like a Larry the cable guy with a pickup. So he has no taste.

I'm also a big lip guy. Until a couple days ago I thought the Konkave were the only kind of wheel. But know I know. I kinda like the KonKourse as well. But I think I like the Konvex the best.

MRR has the same wheel as the KONKAVE and we have a special going on them right now.

Can't post pricing on the forum (not allowed by MRR) but email for a quote :thumbup:

I agree with you, the non lip look can be very impactful when staggered. Here's another MRR wheel called the HR2 in 20" brushed on a 06 Lexus GS

Probably only comes in a 19x8.5 et35.

Don't get your hopes up too high on that rim. Unless EXE makes an offset of et28 or lower for their 8.5 width rims they will never fit on the front of a W210 E55. Especially if you want to run a 245 width tire.

EXE are made by www.axiswheels.com and they don't have any low offset rims for W210.

EXE Wheels

I think the EXE Konvex wheels are fabulous. With the 4" lip in the rear the really turn heads. At least they turn mine. They would look fantastic on a white car.

Will they fit on my 2001 CL 600? With 285/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 in the rear (20 x 10) and 255/30/20 on 20 x 9 in the front?

The car is now equipped with AMG wheels with 285/35/18 Continental Contact Sport 2 in the front and 245/40/18 in the rear and they ride beautifully. I don't want to degrade the ride, but I want 20" wheels with a big lip. Any suggestions? Thanks.

EXE Konvex

What matters is what you think. But here is my opinion. I like the EXE Konvex. It is an awesome looking wheel. Beautiful deep lip. Get it in chrome.

E55 KEV, I know you said these tires won't fit. I have a guy that is selling some, and he was saying that they would fit. So now I don't know what to think. I just wanted a little feedback on why they might not fit. And if anyone else has some info please let it be said. Thanks everyone!

Smile E55 AMG with EXE Konvex or Konvex SS

Totally awesome. The deep lip on the wheels gives the E55 a really superior look! I love it!
