Hey guys i have talked to a few of you on here already. Just purchased a W211 E55 a few weeks ago and i must say i love the freakin thing. Started to play with it alittle already did the sds lowering and put my 19in brabus reps on from my w210 55 for now but thinkin of keeping them. So Just want to say hello and introduce my self im sure you guys will be seeing me ask alot of questions from time to time lol.

Hey I see your running reps. May I ask the sizes of the 19s?

19x8*5/19x9*5?

What offsets? I am looking at 19" reps also and want to see what clears the brakes. Mine would be going on an SL55, but I don't think it would matter, I think they mix and match? Someone confirm this? (E55 to SL55 wheel size/offset the same) ?

Thanks John, Yeah i lowerd it through the star thanks to you & Marcin, Thanks for the help & Marcin is and will be a good person to know as well thanks again.

Yeah there Reps i wanted a bigger lip in the back then the original Brabas and thw size's are 19x8.5 and 19x 9.5 as far as the offset not excactly sure i belive it is the same as my stock wheels as it should be for your SL. Correct me if im wrong guys?

Reps as in replicas right?

Wheels come with all diff offsets and sometimes reps have wacky offsets. because we have AMGs with the larger calipers, bigger rotors, etc.. alot of replicas don't fit right. Your not using spacers or anything modified?

Can you post where you got them? I can always check with them and ask. How are they running? No rubbing, or noises, etc?

bnzuovr

Yeah im sorry there replicas, when i originally ordered them for my wheels were for my W210 E55 and they sat on there with out any problems as far as rubbing and i switched them over to my w211 55 and at the height i have the car in the pics they did not rub from what i saw and when test drove. But when i drive i also have the option of raising the car so for sure there is no rubbing going on. As far as were i purchased them the guys name is Chris Nguyen DNJ Wheels out in cali his number is 714-799-7126 or 7216 im sure he can help you better then i can. But i was intreasted in a diffrent wheel when he told me about these and they fit perfect on both my cars so i don't think u will have a probelm. Hope that helps and good luck.

Damn, that thing looks sweet. I think you just need to put some miles on it to enjoy the power.

bnzuovr

Thanks again guys still needs some work but good ebough to keep me excited for now lol. That's my question do I do the grill gloss black, flat black, flint gray high gloss or, a flat flint gray color. I'm also planning on adding in the future cabon lip and carbon defuser. All suggestions appreciated thanks

Can you give me some insight on using the Star to lower these vehicles. The suspension doesn't reset itself after you turn it off or on?

Looks sick. Thoughts those were 20s till I read the post.

is that their site? They have a lot of wheels, any idea where the replica "brand" is?

jtc55

i didn't do the lowering for him but my friend did. no, if done correctly, the lowered height should remain after turning engine off.

Autoscope

Do you mind doing me a favor, will you do some research for me! Or point me in a direction to whom I should talk to about it! I am trying to lower one myself.....I am under the impression everything will reset itself!!!

Nice look! Local to me...probably see you around sometime!

Accually with the star I don't belive it goes back up Marcin was the tech that did it for me. When I asked him the same question he told me that the car would not reset unless it was manunually reset by dealership. I know a lot of others have the same set up on here as well . And to everyone else thanks for the warm welcome. Plan on gettin some better pics once the weather breaks and glad to see and know this forum is a great help to me with what I need to worry about and what I need to do to make this car look amazing
