Looking good man!
Congrats, I know you have been anxiously awaiting them.
Thanks B. It definitely was like Christmas when UPS came

And thank goodness someone finally put a silver/brushed wheel on a black car. So, so tired of the black wheel thing Looks great!
Does anybody have, or do they make, this wheel in a 20" fitment?
Thanks!!!! I like the black ones - the title was just referencing the fact that these were the first brushed titanium on a E55 that I know of. Either way, I'm very happy with my choice - they do make them in 20's in all colors from what I know

I like, think I'm going to get me a set in Titanium! Why didn't you go for the 20's?
Thanks! Chose the 19's for performance, ride compliance and piece of mind (didn't want to cringe everytime I hit a hole in the road). For what it's worth - they are much lighter than stock (I'm going to try and weigh both sets to confirm that it's not placebo effect) but I notice it everywhere - braking, acceleration and handling.

Looks good!!!!!!
Thanks!

I am starting to like more and more
Thanks!!
but I keep seeing these posts about people waiting, etc. Do they actually have any wheels for inventory? Sometimes I don't even keep my car 2 months....or can someone suggest a reliable seller who may have some inventory? I know the oneauto guys seem to have a large presence here, but their web page has been down for over two months, and I'm always a little hinky when the seller doesn't tell me where they are...Thanks...
I read the same posts and they did take some time (once pics started showing up (and the 1400.00 price for a set of four) and a lot of people started to order them. I don't think a lot of people keep inventory because they are "custom made" to each application but I could be wrong. You may want to shoot Mike (aka the Godfather, aka OneAuto) a PM to get more info. He'll be honest and he took good care of me.

Thanks! I like the black wheels - just was going for something different. I will say this, after 100 miles and the brake dust that's already on them. . . black is looking better and better

Im a big big fan of black wheels but I LOVE this combo. Gorgeous. Well done.
Thank you mate! One day when I get around to scuba diving the great barrier reef, you may be getting a PM for recommendations of what to see that isn't in the tourist books

Sweet wheel! Love you rear DF
Thanks! The DF was a total impulse buy - so worth it. The 63 DF's by ET are straight up NASTY!!! Love the TT!

Unless I missed it, what tires are you running? 295's?

Get some different pads, I run EBC Reds and no longer have dusting issues. Looks good.

245's in the front, 275's in the back; new pads may be quickly added!

Such a beautiful contrast to everything that's been blacked out!

Time to throw a nice little drop on there.

Thanks big guy!!!! I'm going back next week and were going to play with the settings via STAR and see what works - I'm not looking for anything too slammed but I do want to bring it down a bit. Thanks for the help with eliminating the "egg yolks" - the bulbs should be here next week - thanks for the help

The car looks great! Well done!
Thanks!!!

lol I have no idea what the offsets are. They are not shared with vendors really... I can find out if you want, but as the wheels are custom made per order and application, it's a tad irrelevant, unless you're buying a used set.

Thanks!

Can't recommend Benz Elite enough - besides doing all my normal maintenance (just recently had the filters and plugs changed - they also installed EVERY mod I've put on the car (Front lip, rear diffuser, Steering wheel, hardwired my radar detector, painted my front grill black etc). Also, when I had to have my front bumper replaced - they did it. Great guys that do a great work.


Great Choice!!!
Thanks - I love em

I asked because these Forgestars seem to accommodate custom offsets. Are you saying all the wheels you order for the W211 come with the same offset? I am always curious to see how different offsets look on a car.
