19's or 20's for an E55?
I'm planning on purchasing HRE wheel for my E55, I've cracked my last stock wheel and refuse to buy another F#@K stock rim, which is what leads me to my next question. The differnce between a 19 n 20 is really not much when you think about it, a pot hole will crack either one if its big enough. Which one rides better, handling, etc...? What size wheels are you guys using on your 55's, maybe post some pics, lookin for ideas. Thanks

i felt that 20's gave up too much ride quality and performance so i went to 19's. running 19x8.5 up front and 19x10 in back with 35 and 40 offsets on 255/35/19 and 285/30/19's respectively. couldn't be happier.
20's look the sh*t though!

cracking a rim is cracking a rim. 20's will bend much easier than 19's due to sidewall of your tire,
if you are running 20's be prepared to bend your wheels pretty often
