So sorry Jangster.

+1...got off the plane in FLA and got a call from Neal . He had to babysit me thru my decision on whether to go charcoal , silver or brushed !!! But we got 'er done. Charcoal it is. Thanks Neal. I may be the first 50 y.o. kid in Chicago with 597 "s !!! Jangy...I don't think you can do much better than Neal. Judging by his customer service and follow up...I think I'm in good hands. In fact I'm in FLA for vacation and if my kids would let me I would run out to the shop and check it out ! Anyone want to buy a few kids ?

LOL!! I got two of my own to get rid of.

I think I'll give Neal a try, too. I wish he were closer to me, but he was top notch with the MP Wheel group buy.

Perfect. Since your original choice didn't work out now you have the option of the newer designs HRE just came out with.

Yup, still love the C22s, but the 895rs in a darker silver is an option.

Unfortunately for me I got the 843R's right before these came out but I cant complain. I remember I was one of the first, if not the first, to get the C21's on my car in 2005. All I can tell you is that they took longer and the first day they peeled around the hub. Of course HRE fixed them free of charge but just like a new model car I wonder if all the kinks are worked out in the new wheels?

HRE started powder coating instead of using that soft paint previously applied to the wheels so hopefully all off those issues are resolved.

Jangy,

EuroElites and Renntech can work something out for your car if you are interested. How about a 10 sec E55?

I'm interested. i hear RENNTech wants to prove their number by pre and post dynos on all stages. Mine is the car, if they step up.

Have you thought about Radenergie R10's? I think they would look great on your ride. I put them on mine and I love them.

I'd be interested in price, but I am working on similar one on the side.

I have checked them out and I like the look. The HRes, those and the RENNTech ones are the top picks right now.

You all may have to wait to see what I do, but I promise it will push the envelop on whatever has been done on an E55. that is why it is so tough. The specs just haven't been found. Most companies either think I'm crazy or don't have the resources to find the offsets to fit 9.5s (front) and 10.5s (rear). Once it is found, you will be wanting them and all companies will be selling them.

And do they make a 18X9.5 and 18X10.5 for me? I like the look. Very similar to the RENNTEchs

I don't think so, Jangy. I believe they only come in 19 and 20's

I have the 20's that are 9" in front and 10.5" in the rear with PS2's all the way around (255/285)

I will post some other pics tomorrow

See ya
