Mercedes Enthusiast Mag, July issue, page 47, theres a nice pic of a CLS with them on it.
Carlab, are these rims in the same league as HRE quality wise? Is fitment straight forward (need spacers)? whats the deal with iForged requiring some sort of centering ring, or centre ring or something someone told me?
Apart from liking the look, the HRE's are getting quite common on these cars! Which i guess is testimonial to their looks and quality. Its hard to find something these days that looks great, is good quality, and that is a bit unique.

Radenergie wheels are made in Osaka, Japan. Both the inner and outer barrell are forged. The face is forged as well. All around solid wheel with quality Japanese engineering.
I hear they have a 1piece cast version of the same designs (what a marketing strategy), but i haven't seen them on the street.

As for Iforged using Hubring, thats just the way to reduce the cost of the wheels. It only apply to certain model, not all of them. Best way is to check with iforged before you order.
The radenergie will look awsome on the E55. Huge lip. something that you can't get with the HRE.
I replied to your PM. i am out of the office now, so i don't have pricing with me..
I'll get back to you on Monday.Regards

They are currently available in 3pcs only. I don't know of any plan of making them in one piece forged. As for the price, they are retail close to $6500, I'll pm you on Monday a mbworld pricing.

SL55
I have these wheels on my SL55 and really like them. I did a lot of research and found that these are very high quality. Talk to Will over at Wheel Power (they are the American importer) as he can fill you in on the details.

Wheelpower owns radenergie..........Radenergir means wheel power in german. My friend was the designer and originator of the wheel line. The Wheels are up to par and might even exeed HRE, Iforged and DPE

radenergie
I am looking to buy the radenergie 10 spoke wheels for my sl55 w/ brabus body kit. I am taking off and selling my HRE 547 wheels if anybody wants them (but I don't recommend them ). My sl55 is silver , just debating if the wheels should be silver or black. If anybody has photos os black radenergie wheels on a silver sl I would love to see them
