Talking E63 Conversion Update, New rims PIX!

Finally finished the conversion, added the center mesh grille, and the fog light inserts... Looks MUCH better

Decided to throw on the 20s today as well! If I can, I might swap them out this summer for some forged shoes. Will have better and more pix as soon as the damn weather gets better!

Also probably going to run 295s, there seems to be tons of room back there, will roll/pull fenders I decided to go with the chrome grill this time instead of black, I think it looks good. Will be updating the rear soon with a diffuser, decided against the e63 rear bumper.

Any suggestions, feedback would be great!

I really like those wheels alot better vs the ones in your sig pic. The drop is perfect. Black roof would look amazing as well with your white color

Looks great.

I had a 2006 AW E55. Best color on the E, IMO.

Lol, I did the same. I bought a lip and even new fogs for the 55bumper. A week later I was ordering the 63 front lol.



Tbal, once again, car looks georgeous. As soon as I get those clips from you she's getting dropped off.

Looks great! My 06 E55 is also white! If you change wheels, I would love to take these off your hands! I have also been contemplating what color to paint my calipers... I am thinking a brighter blue. Everyone does red or yellow. White will blend in too much...

Be warned these wheels are over 30 pounds each.. That extra weight must lead to a noticeable decline in performance.
