New wheels are in :)

Was at werk when I got the call saying that the wheels FINALLY came in...

Here are the specs...

HRE M40 Monoblok Gloss Charcoal 19x9F and 19x10.5R







Sorry for the crappy pics...I just took them on my brother's camera...will take better ones tomorrow when I'm not so tired...Pics of the wheels on the car will have to wait a bit. Once the car is back, I'm slapping the other set of wheels on there and sending it to get some engine stuff done...

What, "engine stuff" are you getting done?

for the longest time you have remained stock right? so why start the moding now?
We met years ago in Vegas during seema show at Benzgal's house (i think)..

Niiiiice! I seriously thought you bought those Renntech Monolites in the classifieds last month. Can't wait to see pics of your whip when all is done.

Thanks fer all the comments guys...

I can't put the wheels on at the moment because my car was involved in a lil fender bender and won't get the car out til next week. Once the car is out I'll take some pics of the car with both sets of wheels...

Great choice Sun. Good to see an OG E55'er still tinkering. It's about time you started getting some more power out of that bad boy.

WHo did you order those from. pm me the hookup and do they come custom painted I want matte blk 19s
19X8.5 and 19X9.5
Why did you got for 10.5? I think wide wheels look good if they have lips, but these have no lip so it does not matter too me. with that you will need 285-295 rears.

Didn't want the hassle of running 20's again. I did it once, don't plan on doing it again. Especially with a 25 series tire in the rear...in LA roads...no thanks. They look nice as hell but it just doesn't run as well compared to 18's or 19's...
