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.

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.
