Car looks great. I was looking at Forgestars but were told they werent a quality wheel? Where did you get the wheels from? I have a black 09 E63. How much do the wheels weigh?

I believe stock is somewhere in the 27-28lb range, correct?

How much do the Forgestar 19x10 weigh as compared to stock? Would you be able to fit 295s on these wheels with a stock ride height? Also, how much would that weigh with 295 tires and the forgestar 19x10 wheel? Much difference from stock wheels and a 265/275?

Thank you.

Scuzy, nice to see your wheels on! Looks awesome on white! 295 would be too wide and will cause some issues with clearance.

Looks great in daylight pics; nighttime just looks like a flat black disk.

Don't drop it, it's a great fill as is.

How about 285 on the Forgestar? Would that be pushing it or be optimal? (all this on stock ride height)

If you lower with STAR, it....

First off, Love the wheels....

But lowering with Star should not change your ride too much if at all. You already screwed that up with the wheel setup.
I have mine done a bit lower than stock even at the raised setting to fit the 18's all the time. And you can see at even the lowered setting on comfort mode it is pretty low,even too low. Sport brings it down even further.

In all modes, the ride is exactly as stock as I have several e55's around here not lowered at all. And you can lower it just to make the tires line up and no more if you wanted.



All I'm saying is
Its all in the tires.
you already went with the bigger wheels so you lost whatever quality you were going to lose already. Lower it via STAR and you will get the look you spent all that money on those wheels for. I promise it will feel like it is now with those wheels on.

You have done the damage, mine as well make her look pretty.

Love the wheels Car's sick!





lower it
