I'm interested in knowing what your opinions are on these wheel rims. In Europe and most of the world the E55 AMG Kompressor comes with the new 5 split spoke design as standard which is said to be lighter than the 5 solid spoke design. But in terms of looks which do you guys think looks better?

I think the split spokes look better but I'm not too sure. The real benifit is they would differentiate an E55 from a lower model with the AMG kit and 5-spoke wheels. However, on the SL55 the 5 spokes look best. hmmmmmmm.

The 5-spokes

Split Spoke - unique to AMG. I've been waiting to pickup some 18 or 19" splits spokes for my black '99 E55.

e55bliss,

I saw the double spoke wheel on www.autoclass.net for W210 E-class. If you do get the wheels please post pictures. Thanks.

I like the split spokes.

I like them both but I ended up getting the regular 5 spokes because the new twin spokes look a bit like the wheels I have on my vdub so I wanted something different. BTW, you can get them on your non-amg with amg kit car - at least my dealer was going to do that for me but I wanted the regular 5 spokes anyways..

Both look excellant on your respective cars.

The single piece split spoke is availalbe now at Status Imports. The sizes are 18X7.5 front and 18X8.5 rear. The 19 inch version will not fit the W210 because it uses 14mm lug bolts from the W211.

all the cars in the second pic are AMGs too. Didn't AMG run into production problems for the double spoke rims? that's why they had those new monoblock on the early production 55s
