Most likely, but as a rule of thumb, no matter how good a wheel looks, you get what you pay for. Keep that in mind.

Yes, I went with 19's. 8.5 front and 9.5 rear with 245/35-19 and 275/30-19 tires. If I'm not mistaken, these are the same specs for the 19" OEM option including tire size. So I'm assuming they will fit the gap similar to those. As a note, the wheels I ordered have the anthracite interior and polished face.
And I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for, hence my plan to keep the original wheels as fall back. I should have them on by mid day Fri and should be able to post by the afternoon.

What was the rim weight each? Do you drop some un-sprung weight over stock?

I've had replicas on my CLK320 & E320, but am hesitant to put them on my E55 because of the amount of power this car has.
What are the advantages to spending the $5k for nicer wheels over getting reps for $2k?
