AUS-E55

I've seen all of the cars that are running the 20" version of these rims but would love to see some pics of a car that running these in 19's, the 20's look fantasitc on the E55 but I dont think the Houston Roads will be too friendly to the ride quality of the car.

Also how is the quality of these wheels, I know they are a little on the cheap side but they look so good !!

NDF55

I've got em, I'll try to post up some pics when I get home tonight. They look great and are much lighter than the 20's. 19's are 26lbs each I think. The car rides nice, your roads in Houston can't be worse than ours here in NY.

Busta Riles

I've got them too. I think they look really good on the car. I have had tons of compliments on them in the 2 weeks they've been on.

The day i put them on, i had 2 people take pics of my car with their phones while stopped at lights.

+1 on the road situation...our roads are terrible up here, which is the only reason why i didn't get 20s.

Thinking about getting some 19" monarch rims for my car as well but would be good to see how they look first.
Have you guys heard of any problems with quality of these wheels as well.
Heard some horror stories about replica rims and quality control.

I saw pictures of the 19" and you can tell they look a lot smaller. I talked with the owner of Monarch because I was in the same situation and he said that because you are buying a lip rim, it will make the rim look smaller as opposed to a non-lipped rim.

To me, the difference was pretty big that I think I would sacrifice a little performance for the 20"s..just me tho

AUS-E55

Anyway we can see some pics !!

Busta Riles

I didn't really want to post these crappy pics of my car, but here's what they look like. They don't look much bigger than the stock 18s, but they are such a good looking wheel that i'm happy i went with 19s.

What tire size(s) are you running with these?

Busta Riles

275/30/19 and 245/35/19........ which is the proper size.

I've got Nitto NT555 tires and am really happy with them.

When i bought the car, it had Goodyear Eagles on....they sucked.

NDF55

Some more pics for ya!

What are the offsets front and back?

Did you have to use spacers?

Looks sweet!!

baldmike73

have seen some cool variations of them as well on ebay - painted matte black as well. give them a totally different look.

Kevinw23michele

I didn't see them on ebay painted. Might look cool painted.

NDF55

Kevin23michele-Tried to PM you back. It said you weren't accepting PM's or something to that affect. Anyway I like the rims, I've only had them on for two weeks. The tires are General UHP's he said he could do Vredestein for the same price but he convinced me that General is the better tire. General's are supposed to be lightweight compared to some other tires out there. I like them so far.

Busta Riles

I can't remember what the offsets are, but the guys at Monarch (i dealt with Warren Wadehra at Detail King) will know. He is the guy selling them on EBay, but i bought them directly from him. You definitely do not need spacers. There is more clearance than i thought there would be.

Hey Guys, I just bought my first '06 E55 last week and want to start makin' her mine.

I have been trying to decide on 19's or 20's. Does anyone have pictures with 20's? I see the 19's up a cpl of posts, look nice! Do the 20's fit nice or rub at times?

NDF55 - I ran the Generals on my Dodge for 3 years now. Very sticky here in FL. Wear out really fast and get really noisy at about 8k miles. BIG AMPS help!
Love them shoes!

James@ACG

We have a set of 19's and 20's left.

19's are $1600 shipped in the USA,
20's are $1700 shipped in the USA

We can also do tire packages as well

baldmike73

anyone running sl63 wheels on their E yet? would look hot - but pricey

Busta Riles

Are you sure those are not Monarchs?

LB63

Monarchs have a lip and rivets.

AUS-E55

Thanks for posting NDF55 this gives me a perfect vision of what my car would look like with them on although my car will be be a little lower than yours. it was a big help

supre55

They look good. I did the "non-lipped" version in 19

RonnieRenaldi

Get them in 20", looks nicer

For an SL55 (is it same for E55?)


Will a 19x8.5 / 19x9.5


ET25 or ET32 Front and ET25 or ET35 Rear

on a 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19


Which would I want?


Would these work and look good on an SL55?

AUS-E55
