HRE Monoblok M40 VS. HRE Comp 20/90s

Wanted to get your opinion on a set of wheels that I have been agonizing over. Not sure which to get.

Pretty set on the 19's with the Brushed Finish. Don't want to sacrifice the ride/comfort with the 20's.

Still undecided but photoshopped a few pics for those that dunno which rims i'm talking about. The car will definitely be dropped a bit if I get the wheels...

The more I look at them, the more I like my stock AMG rims... I think i'm losing it and need your help badly...

My stock AMG...


HRE Monoblok...


HRE Comp 20/90...


Thanks again in advance.

Monoblocks and go 20s, ride does not change that much from 19s to 20s if any.

I do it so hopefully people don't notice the constant sig swapping; apparently it's not working to well

ya M40's in 20's are the best looking set up on the E55.

20"s look great, but there is a trade-off in ride quality. 19"s roll like butter. I had 3 sets of 20"s on my car before switiching to 19"s and none of them rode as nice as these wheels do.

The Monoblok P40 looks better than the Comp90 from what you’ve shown but with the photoshops, neither looks very good.

I’d go the Comp20. It doesn’t have as many spokes and is a better looking rim than the Comp90. Also the Comps have the advantage of a deep dish, which looks great on staggered sizes.

I’d also seriously consider 20’s for an E class car, the size suits it and the ride is not as bad as some think. When you drop the car, take the 20’s into consideration with the choice of suspension.


The photo is of my Comp93’s 20x10, polished lip and silver powdercoated centres. You’ll get a much bigger dish than I can and it would look great.
