Very nice. And, I suppose, as an added benefit, they don't show brake pad dust like the lighter wheels do.

Your worst nightmare...
Guys thank you all for your nice comments, to tell you the truth when I cruise around I feel somewhat like a celebrity, you would not believe the attention you get with these wheels, and the car. I just love my car period.

Vic55- I am definitely dropping this baby, going to instal the kleeman module next week. Your car is also a true beast, love the exhaust!

DragonAMG- Your car was my inspiration, lol! what can i say...I will be dropping it next week..

jtc55- This baby has a sleeping room, I have a closed garage for her, she doesn't even see the sunlight..lol! I would never keep a car like this in the streets, i bring her out on weekends.

only thing i would recommend u doing to complete the look is 1) remove those orange markers w/ color-match markers and 2) get rid of that front license plate. DAMN, i need to get myself a BEAST!!! LOL

Those look SICK bro! Someone needs to pick up my HRE 841R's that are in the classifieds! Wish I could keep them but it's pointless without an E55.

19s vs 20s? Jody how does the car ride on 20s? I live in michigan so the roads are kinda rough... I love the look of 20s but is it worth the decrease in ride quality?

You need to get your car lowered. Which suspension mode is it in? The front gap makes it look awkward.

looks sweet as! cant wait to see it lowered! I think it looks not too bad considering its stock height! how much are you gonna drop it?
Are you going to do the black emblems too!?

oh i am also interested in ride quality with the 20's.

Dragon can you tell us about your ride quality, and does it scrape that low?!
Also running this size rim/tyre, does it change the way the car behaves when you hang the back end around?!

looks good bro,i have the kleemann module as well;initially i bought the brabus module then found out the kleemann lowered the car another 10 mm.it had been over a month since i had purchased the brabus and they wouldn' take it back even w/a 25% restocking fee.so i basically am stuck with a brand new brabus module that i paid $1,300 for to pay $800 more for the extra 10 mm drop from the kleeeman ,but to me the extra 10 mm makes a huge difference in the appearance;then again i am super particular about the most miniscule details.you can't go wrong w/the kleemann module but if i was you i would seriously consider the renntech module as it is priced less than the kleemann and appears to be a more efficient design.whatever decision you make you'll be happy with the significant visual as well as handling benefits.

ride quality w/the proper fitment in 20 " along with the kleemann module set as low as it goes will not result in any rubbing issues and the ride is only marginally noticeable .but the car handles and feels more planted and stable ;especially at higher speeds.

that sounds awesome. are there any camber issues with these cars when lowering?

by proper fitment i gather the 20x8.5 and 20x10 HRE rims that everyones fitting up are a perfect fit?

Car looks awsome, all you need is just a Carlsson front lip and a trunk spoilers.
