Thanks to Jrocket for driving down to SD so I could shoot his car. Most of us are glad he changed his mind and decided to mount the wheels because they look great on his car. The diamond finish is just .

Here's two more *** shots....

Im obviously going to be some what biased here but I do think this is some of Lings best work yet! He definately has some skills,and he keeps getting better each shoot.

Thanks again Ling,they came out great.

Wash the car...LOL..Yes you could say that,I pay alot of attention to my cars and what not.Its going to be hard to part with this E55,but I still want a white one.I was so confused on what wheels and specially what color centers to do them in.The centers are diamnond cut,and the lips are polished clear coated.It really shines very brightly in the day,maybe to bling for some but I didnt want to go for the clean brighter look.The blacks centers are nice also,but I went old school with some bling centers! lol

Also,thanks everyone for all the compliments on the car.I've had alot of heads turned in the very short amount I have driven it with the new wheels on it.The car has a really crsip clean look to it.Now I need to figure out what to do on the front lip.....painted or carbon fiber.Also might take the tint back off for a cleaner look.

truly amazing look... though I agree with your idea of removing the tint glas.
Is it still comfortable with such rims?

Can you provide all the info on those wheels? Size, offset, tire sizes, etc. Cost?

Wheels and tires look great! Best I've seen so far. How is the ride with those thin sidewalls?

Sorry,I havent checked this thread for some time now.Wheels are Radenergie R10's.Fronts 20X9 with 34mm offset.Rears are 20x10 with 31mm offset.Polished clear coated lip with diamnond cut centers.Tires are Falken 452's,245-30-20 front,285-25-20 rears.If the car is very low such as mine is,the rear inner fenders will need rolled a bit.If you run the car higher,you might not need it.Ride seems to be firmer but not anything worse than other performance minded cars Ive owned in the past.

Only draw back to these wheels are some of the bolts were lose from the factory,I had to check and torgue every single bolt on them.30 bolts PER wheel!!!!! Another person has had much worse results than me.Wheel Power.com's customer service is by far the worse I have ever seen in my life.

Damn, I'm amazed you can get 285s on the rear with such an aggressive offset. Mine are 10s as well and I'm at an et of 42. I think I'd be better off with about 40, but oh well. At least the 295s fit!!

It doesnt come with out work thats for sure.When I saw Ali's car I thought they fit perfect,but WheelPower forgot to mention if you lower the car like his it will need fender rolling,not alot but enough.Strike one with Wheelpower and their customer service,strike two came after I found out some of the bolts were lose before I even mounted them.Strike 3 came after hearing other Radenergie owners saying they had numerous bolts fall out and damage occur.Strike four is when Wheelpower came calling me to ask what the bolts should be torqued too?Idiots,my money is going to HRE from here on out.

I agree, wheelpower sucks donkeys, their customer service is worthless and non existent and a reflection on the owners lack of ethics.

Would recommends never doing business with them.
