My New E63 W/ SL65 Rims , Do these rims match?

I just bought a 09 E63 Leftover with 136 miles, the stealership discounted aprox $20,000.00 I had a set of SL65 Rims and tires , so, I threw them on, what do you guys think? I thought they look good, also, tinted the widows, I'll be installing a serious aftermarket stereo, and, when I find the right rims, I'll buy them. As far as the motor, I'll need suggestions as to what mods should be done first, I would think a Cam and heads w/headers and cat back would put this car in the 11's? Any opinions will be appreciated!

They look good but I'm sure if you lower the car a bit it'll be even better!

It seems te car is almost sitting on the top of the tire, how much lower can I go w/out rubbing? I agree, I lower all my vehicles! Thanks.

e55
if you do head work and cams i would imagine that to be pretty pricey. might want to try a tune and headers first. then go from there. over over all the wheels look really good on the car.

The Sl rims look great on the w211 but I can't keep the same look on mine for too long so they have been stored.

I have some chrome 19 SL rims if anyone is interested in taking them off my hands? PM me
