I am struggling with a simple question, so I thought I would ask my fellow forum members. What would look better on a silver E55, silver or black HRE's? I have heard that black HREs in 18's will make my wheels look really small. Thus, I might be better of going with silver polish HRE's. I can't go any bigger than 18's due to the limitations that will arise when buying tires. I know it is a matter of personal preference, but if anyone has seen black or silver polish HREs in 18s and can comment it would be very helpful.

hey bud nice choice of wheels, cool Italian titanium fasteners and about one of the lightest 3 piece made, obviously color is a personal preference...but IMO the black is a fad and the silver will be timeless and easier to resell, weigh those bad boys when they come in

SleeperX

Thanks.. I most certainly will.

JAYCL600

although not one of your posted choices dark grey or anthracite looks hot on silver.

vader

Agree...charcaol/anthracite gives a nice contrast.

SleeperX

Thanks.. but does charcoal or dark grey make the wheel look small similiar to black.

vader

You be the judge...albeit these are 19's...depends on the light.Sometimes they look darker.

SleeperX

Very very nice... Decisions, decisions, decisions.. I would love to be able to put 19s on my car, but I am sticking to 18s....

a midtone gray will keep in tact the actual look size of it... anything too dark will generally make it look visually smaller unless u balance it off with a lot of metallic flake to give it some dimension and depth. the flakes make a big difference. i've seen all black wheels (including lip) on a silver and it looked crazy, i didn't sense that smaller look feel though.

i think u like to drive ur car very hard and although 19"s can take it i think u are better off with the 18"s because they are better in most roads, keeps comfort, and better for the strip.

edit: if u have a side picture of the HREs installed on any car send it to me and i'll photoshop it

Frank!! you are actually going for them...? how much are they costing you? if don't mind me asking. I am still undecided man but I know I will be putting down 18's. I am waiting to sell the HRE's may have a deal in the pipeline, I am debating if to buy the competition HRE's or build the killer K4, time will tell. Anyways, I love either color, either one will be hot! Good luck buddy.

I was going to get new wheels in black, but after a long debate with myself, Im going with Anthercite wheels (gunmetal) on my white E55...its diffrent not to many people go with that color choice, the color is similar to the SL65/CL65 Wheels with a chrome lip...In my opinion (NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE) But black is killed, I had black wheels 3 years ago... Its just an old look, dont get me wrong black wheels always look SICK, and will always look SICK, but its an old look nothing we havnt seen before. But Silver cars do look great with black wheels I must say. Ill be posting pics of my new wheels on my car soon give me till the week end.

Can't wait to see the new look mang...

PerisanGodFatha

Acually im gana go with diamond black lol...diamond face...black windows....loook out itll be up soooon

also remember that if your doing the Competition series (C20,C21, C22) you will get a step lip, so my suggestion would be on the competition to do full polish so it doesnt look as small...

shoot me a PM and we can discuss Pricing/availability.
