I love these wheels. I'm going to lower it a bit. Thanks to those who have given me advice in that regard. Thanks to Max H. for the excellent wheels.

That looks awesome..How do they compare with the stock 18s in terms of weight and are you running stock SL65 tires?

Great choice.

The 65 wheel should come stock or an option when the E55 came out...looks right at home on the Beast.

That looks really good. The car will look incredible when it is lowered. Any idea on the weight of those wheels?

Great looking setup, clean and very functional being AMG wheels. Does that mean there are 285s up back on the beast?

Heavy...I have a set in my garage. I just weighed the front wheel with tire and it was 62lbs...I am guessing the rear wheel/tire combo will be a couple of pounds heavier.

I am guessing 33-35lbs a piece or heavier...in comparison my current front wheel by itself is 17lbs.

I'm running 245/35R19 front and 275/30R19 back. Thanks MJ50 for that advice. I know the back is more narrow than stock.

Wow. Yes, that is heavy! Thanks for the info. You can't beat those CCW wheels for weight, plus they look really good on your car.

The 17lb front wheels are the ADV 5.1's...I switched to them from the CCW's after I decided to try the "concave" look on the 65. The rears are around 21lbs.

Those wheels are stunning. I didn't know the Adv's were that light.

Sorry to the OP for going off topic!

Lowered about 4 mm in back and about 9 mm in back. Not much, but exactly the look I wanted.
