New pics of my AMG

I picked up some new wheels a few months ago which allowed 285s on the rear. Traction is much better now. A couple of these were in the lowest setting. I would not drive at that setting. The last pic has bit of PS work done to it.

Thanks guys. I am happy with how it looks. I just wish i could drive it but snow on the ground means for the most part I am not taking it out of the garage.

Yes, Zenetti. 20x9 and 20x10 I believe. I will have had the car for 2 years in April and I have never owned a better car. it is unbelievably fast and surprisingly reliable. I did have an intercooler pump replaced, but that has been it for repairs.

I have noticed in my pics abit of hazing in the black. What do you guys use for polishing your black paint? I am thinking about getting a rotary, but I am also very concerned about screwing up. Any ideas?

Get a porter cable- it won't swirl. At least it hasn't on my black cars.

Thanks and I am not thinking it is OT, since it is about how to polish a black e55. What do you use for polishing compound? Manzerna?

The tires do not rub as far as I can tell, but if I get in a turn and hit a bad dip the fronts will make a quick noise like they are rubbing, but I do not see where they rub. My fenders were rolled professionally before I got the car though. They are a lot smoother than the tires I had before. These are Falken 452 tires.
