Maybe the 2nd E55 with Forgestar wheels?
Just installed today. I think this might be the 2nd E55 with Forgestar F14 rims. These wheels are pretty light weight and balanced out easily. The offsets and caliper clearance was perfect. These wheels are also Flow Formed, which makes them both lighter and stronger compared to a regular cast wheel. I think its a good bang for the buck. Enjoy the pics. Thanks to Godfather for inspiring the many more to come.

19x8.5 fronts
19x10 rears

do they make these in 20" for the E55 , if so I might be all over them. Not to jump on the band wagon or any thing but I thought the M40 HRE wheels were the nicest wheels ever made but to expensive that makes these seem like a steal.

I think retail price is right aroung $1,800 for the set. As of this time, that wheel is only available in 19".

I like those wheels. I would spray those center caps the color of the wheels though.

Yeah, they're all pretty close - except the BMW M3 Comp. Pkg. wheels are 16 spoke, not 14 like these (and M40s). I like all three of those you mention.

20's should be here in a couple of weeks.

There are Carbon Fiber center caps coming soon, so no unsightly grey anymore

Wheel set is $1,399 plus shipping. Hit me up for info
