Need your help on getting rims

Hey guys,

I have a black 05 E55 and currently have 20" vossens but decided to go down to 19" since the road here in NY and NJ are crazy. So I need some opinions.
Should I go with Gloss black or Matte black?
Which brand mesh look should I go with?
HRE's are nice but currently not in my budget.

Thanks,

Brushed face with chrome lip. maybe something in the ADV.1 lineup. I would suggest a set of straight 5's or spec 5's but im scared to death of 360 forged.

Also, I keep hearing Jordan's name mentioned around ADV as well. The stories keep changing, I just said to hell with it and got some Vossen's. Their new concave line looks awesome, and they have 19's.

All the ADV.1 ads look just like 360 forged ads many of the shots are even taken in the same locations. They make some nice looking rims hell i even own a set but only because i was able to order directly from cor which i don't think is possible anymore. I may have to go with CCW's or HRE's this time around.

What about a set of Forgestar f14s that the godfather sells and reps? They are inexpensive, light and supposed to be strong.

+1

Especially the new forgestar's he's got a pre-sale going for.

If you like a lip. Look real good in my opinion.

I must say those rims look hot on your CLS... 360 had great potential, was excellent at advertising esp with their pics and such... Just sad to see that greed got in the way... Had he ran his business legitimately he would have ended up making more money in the long run...

As it's been said, the Forgestar monoblocks are the best bang for the buck! The Forgestar forged multipiece are VERY VERY well priced as well! Can't go wrong either way!

Just to show them off :
