I like them, I was thinking of getting them before, but had already ordered the HRE's which are also great choice, of course. Perhaps I'll get them sometime later so have a different set of shoes to change into as the mood strikes.
You should get them

E55
Hey bud,
I have a white one like yours and even with Lowenhart's on my vehicle in black I still find the STM's to be the Premiere type wheel for this car. It shows a level of class that this car deserves. The E55 is not a sports car it is a sedan and in my opinion the MRS Wheels should be on a SUV, like an X5 or a sports car. Take a look at the X5 here

On an X5 4.8. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Fan of Maido, Maya and Lowenhart but your car now oozes class, don't give that away
Good Luck either way, nice choice on the color.

Keep your STMs bro. I know what you mean about them being played out here but theres a difference between STMs on a VW Passat and an E55. Trust me, your whip is perfect right now. If you get those wheels, it wont look good because they need to be on a bigger car like an S or CLS. I say don't make any final decisions until you see a pic of them on an E so you can be 100% sure you like the look. You may think you're wheels are played out, but when people see your ride they dont say 'Oh look, more STMs...' they say 'Wait, is that an E fifty- OH ****'

God father I personally wanted the STMS before my DLS's which are very close to the MRS but the problem was I bought Brembos so I wanted a more open wheel to show the brakes and STM's 20's the spokes where to tight and not spread out like on the 22's so I would be hiding to much of the brakes but I love and envy the STM's I can understand they maybe played out but your doing in style brother. Good Luck

Everytime I look at the stms I dont want to get new wheels, They look fresh all the time, before I even signed papers for the E55 I told myself STM`s were the wheels I was getting. From day 1 I wanted them and I got them, But in L.A. many many many cars have them. I understand the whole class issue and I totally agree the Stm is in a class of its own. BUT I was driving up this street a month or two back, and I spoted a WHITE E63 droped, with the MRS in 20`s I WAS SOOOOO YEH that describes it. The car looked SICKKKKKKK it looked AMAZING. I stoped my car and honestly just looked at it for 5 minutes looking like an idiot. So I know how I felt when I saw them on a E63 and the car was white, so it was easy to imagine them on my car....I JUST CANT PICTURE THAT MOMENT IN MY HEAD ANYMORE OR SEE THE CAR IN MY HEAD ANYMORE, THATS WHY IM HAVING MIXED FEELINGS....LOL yeh That explains it

Well then go for it my car is down at Platinum right now getting wrapped up on the last bit of work I think the MRS's would look good on your car but its something about the STM's that have me hooked have you considered just painting or coloring the STM's. I think a black face with chrome windows and lip would make them pop a little. Anyways good luck either way your car will look hot.

Don't go with the plain silver finish. Either the black with diamond finish or the full anthracite finish on your white beast.

No, I only have a pic of the Maya DLS on my car
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/118717-hi-guys-newbie-here.html
I might be putting the wheels back on my car after I goto moroso tonight. That is unless you want to buy them. Make me a reasonable offer I might sell.

Only got 2 runs and a best of 11.85. Not sure where my problem lays but on the dyno I have 500hp and 522 tq which should equate to better 1/4 mile time #'s but I will have to do some retuning.
Persian,
I will probally put the wheels back on my car sometime this week unless you are interested in buying them ??
