Nice! Only thing with the black barrel/lip is it makes the rim look smaller. BTW, you have any pics with the yellow hids? I was thinking of doing it, but wanna see how it looks.

Thanks

Those rears have the smallest sidewall! Or it could be the angle on the last shot. Those rims and lo pros wouldn't last a week here with these roads.

Anyways, I would look into having the centers black as well.

Kudos for bucking the trend and being different. Not sure i'm felling the black lip though. But what the hell do I know? I'm just a lowly E500 owner.

I just saw the pictures and I noticed that you posted them at 9:36 am today. I realize that there is a slim chance that you still have these on your car because it is now 4:3X pm. I'm sure you have swapped them out by now because it has been 7 hours.

Just messin man, they look good, I like em but I liked the first ones better. Black HRE's are less played out in Indy because I just don't see HRE's that often here. I think what you have done is innovative though and it looks pretty good.

Congrats on the new wheels bro! When I first looked at your pics, I thought they were photoshoped? If you just glance over the photo it doesn't look real. I guess it's just my eyes aren't used to seeing the rims in reverse finish?

Just curious. When you posted that, was the gold chain with the cubic zirconia crusted dollar sign jingling around your neck? When you were done posting, did you fold your arms, one over the other at a 40 degree angle after tightening your belt buckle right under your a$$?

His windows are black???

...I think the difference between the pics is that mche55!'s car is riding higher than the pics of the S class.

....I think if mche55 were to lower his car......he could be onto something???
....is it possible to lower the e55 on those wheels without rubbing??......if so, it might be worth trying!!!

when he says windows he means the inner part of the spokes not the actul window. i kinda agree it probably would look better that way. but as long as mche55 likes it im not gonna knock it.
