I have a bone stock white 05' E55... Was throwing around the idea of doing the chrome wheel exchange. But Im concerned about chipping,peeling,etc.. Anyone have experience with these.. Performance products does them.. About $800 + shipping, and you mail them your wheels back, for the credit.

Was thinking about chrome wheels and 35% tint all the way around..

Chrome adds weight, I see no good reason to do it.

White/Chrome/Tint = Lights-Out!

Do it!

Lots of guys on this forum know this but the white ones are usually some of the fastest, too (2006 White - 12.16 @ 114 - Essentially Stock/Toyo Tires and K&N)!

My wife's '06 Alabaster white E55 had the stock AMG wheels chrome plated (dealer installed) when it was purchased in Feb of 2006. I am not a fan of chrome wheels but will have to admit that the car looks very sharp. She has not had any problems with peeling or flaking.

Here is a pretty bad picture of the rear end of the car and the wheel.

chrome is the wrong choice for a White/Silver car, you always go color matched or silver, NEVER CHROME!!


looks too gaudy, chrome goes better on black and other colors.


go with something else, save the money hommie, mine are the stock 18's and i love em, but it would look better on a diff car.

How about black chrome? I think that may look much better on white......

Taximan: My white E46 M3 with chrome wheels looked killer! I see the other opinions here but if you like this setup do it! I think white with chrome looks great!

Chrome + white or chrome + silver are bad combinations.

I have a set of chrome AMG's that I want to sell or trade, they look good as my car is black.

clearly, it is a matter of subjective/personal taste, but since that is what you are asking for, I will throw mine in: not a big fan of the chrome. A tad too "look at me'ish" when the car itself does all the talking w/o adding additional glare.

Just MHO

thnx

thanks for the opinions guys... I know a guy who has an Alabaster E500, with the factory (500 style) chromed wheels, and 35% tint.. The car looks OUTSTANDING..

However, an E55 already has a lot more "flash" than a 500.. Im wondering if the chrome would over do-it.. Not looking for the "bling bling" look, if you know what I mean...

I'll hold off for now.. thanks for the opinions..
