Nice!! Are those reps, and how long have you had them? I'm considering the ones on Ebay, but I'm concerned about buying reps.

Teolax, do NOT buy CL63 rep wheels if u have a E63 b/c they don't clear the front brake calipers (rears are fine).

I think the reps will be fine. As far as brake clearance goes, why would there be a problem on the fronts? I know the E63 has diff calipers, but are they bigger?

I got mine from ebay. I didn't buy the package, I called them in cali and ordered just the rims. They are 19s. I could never put 20s on because of the pot holes in Houston. For me, I don't care if they are replicas or not, rims all someday have a run in with the curb. I don't want to have $6000 bucks in some wheels and run into the curb. I would just crumble.

wheels will fit on E55 but not on E63. the rotors are slightly bigger on E63 compared to E55 and therefore will not fit.

The 19"s might fit but I don't think the 18"s will

Turns out they won't clear the front calipers on the E55 as well. Rears are fine but the fronts are having issues. Anyone run into this problem? What did you do, wheel spacers????
