Looks Great! I Wanted to get the LMs but got the AMG Multipiece 19s for the Wifes W211...The BBS LMs are classic!
Customer from TWS? Were those Alberts 20"LMs?

Not sure, but the shot was actually taken down there in Huntington Beach at A1 Autobody. Wayne was working on our customer's car - installing a new bumper we sent over

I feel LM's are not the right wheels for the E55. I had them on both of my M3's which looked great.

Here's an E55 from Extreme Autofest this weekend. Not sure if it's the same car.

Look at the lip on the E55 and look at the M3, how can you say they look better on E55? The E55 looks like it has 4 front wheels installed.

So I guess Quick E55 is the authority on wheels

...and just why can't anyone think the wheels look better on an E55? It's his opinion!

I think those wheels look darn good on that E55!

Read my first post again... I said I feel they don't look right (I) that doesn't mean the owner has to listen to what my opinion is.

Because having a big lip isn't the determing factor on what makes a wheel look good on a car...I dunno..just a thought

...maybe b/c on your very next post you then say (YOU) - "how can you say they look better on E55."

I think we all got your point...you don't like the wheels on the E55 now lets move on. Don't worry, I don't think the owner of the E55 cares one way or another.

Yeah, I bought those off Albert awhile back so I have something to put on the car while I wait for something else, I am thinking about doing BBS RSGT or Inden Champion. I would love to have more lip to it, but that's ok, I still love how it looks.

agree with quicke55 on the 20inch LMs on the lip subject. the dish situation doesnt look good. I much prefer Rocks 18's. And yes lip/dish is very often a major determining factor in whether rims look hot or not (oh sorry, in "MY" opinion)!! especially in multi-piece rims.

I love the LM's.

I think they would look good on just about any car.
