I'm not that sensitive!!! I am a little surprised that most here seem that turned off by the wheels though. I like them and that's all that counts, plus they're super easy to clean.

I like everything you have done to enhance the looks of an already great car. The rims look great and as for lowering, you can't get any better than the Renntech lowering module. Nice work and congratulations!

Car looks great, and the 5 spoke AMG wheels look excellent on the W211 chassis. I think these 19" rims are an improvement over the stock 18" E63 five spokes while keeping with the five spoke theme, but we all know wheel style is a matter of personal taste, so others may prefer the stock E63 wheels.

Maybe a not well-known fact is the MB offers what most of us think of as these "CLS" style wheels in a version for the W211 chassis. The W211 version 5 spoke AMG wheels are 8.5x19 and 9.5x19, with correct W211 offsets of et30 front and et31 rear (the CLS versions are the same size except they have offsets of et25 front and et28 rear, so they sit outward by 3mm front and rear compared to the W211 versions).

Part numbers for the correct W211 versions:

Front - B6 603 1232
Rear - B6 603 1233

Glad to see that some of you guys like the wheels!!! I'm pretty sure these are CLS55 wheels as they do seem to widen the stance slightly. I have not had any rubbing issues whatsoever, and I guess people pay good money to push their wheels out with spacers

I like the whole package.

I forgot what % my tint is. It was second darkest %
I have not lowered the car. It has VRP filters.
I plan to add VRP X pipe and VRP 530 package late summer.

teolax

I have to go light on the tint since I'm in Jersey and I don't want to attract too much attention from the police... I was considering the x pipe. What is the 530 package again?

Gorgeous car man

baldmike73

looks good. i guess i am one of the few that likes the look of those wheels as well. def give it an aggressive stance!

teolax

Thanks. I really think most of the guys would change their opinion if they saw the car in person with the wheels.

beautiful car, color is fantastic. enjoy

I have 50 percent all round and I get no hassle from the Cali cops who are notorious in the revenue collecting abilities re:tint. Looks very classy.

I must say, I do prefer the OEM E63 18"s as they are rare and for that car only. The wheels you have on now are not bad, like aftermarket chromed 20"s would be, but they are a little ordinary to my eyes. If you like them, that's all that matters and as I said they are a handsome wheel just not special. However, your car looks great overall and the E63 is a great auto.

Teolax: what is the clearance with your rear tire to fender? Is it a few mm? Just wondering when it comes time for you to lower your car. I've got the same wheels with a 285 rear and it rubs. I'm replacing with a 275 as soon as it comes in.
Cheers,

AMG Rider

Nice ride~was just chillin with ur bro last nite. he mentioned that u just got a Renntech lowering module. Let's all meet up sometime..would love to check out ur ride~

teolax

Clearance is about one finger... I've heard that you can get some rubbing if you run 285 which is stock on these wheels on the CLS55. Hopefully with the 275's I won't get any rubbing when I install the ELM.

teolax

Yeah, he told me you were back in town for the next couple of weeks. Let me get the ELM installed and maybe we can get together next week some time. I'd like to see your E55 since I've heard so much about it...

"G"

Looks nice, how much $ for the wheels?

155

Yup, you're right. I've got the 285's installed and they rub slightly on the inner fender lip at stock ride height. I've ordered 245/275's... I know they'll clear but unsure if they'll rub once lowered. Oh well, we'll see how it goes!

Post some pics once you get it lowered dude.
Again, that's an absolutely sick car you've got there.

christiaan

245/275's is what im getting for the Euro spec ones...
so i guess that means you should not have any problems...

teolax

Thanks. I'm not sure what they cost. I bought the car used from a guy the next town over from me. I believe he bought them off a guy who had a CLS55 and paid somwhere in the mid $2,xxx.

Thanks bro. I'll post pics and let you know if I get any rubbing once I lower it.

teolax

I guess the above comment was meant to ask if I was trying to pass off a E320 as a E63, so i have attached another pic to settle it

obsidian05e55

Congrats!! love the wheels, think they fit it perfectly.. I personally dont like the stock 63 rims.

So many fellow E55/63 guys in NJ, but i NEVER see any one the roads..

is3mike

Congrats, very nice car

teolax

Tell me about it. I've seen 3 other e55/e63 in the last 6 months. we should arrange some type of meet...
