The center bore is the same just bolted them up, I was really just messing around but have had comments either way. Wifey is tired of buying tires and I thought I would try a set I could rotate. Car drives fine except for a little traction issue Gotta keep her happy

So you lost the staggered setup? :O
Why would swap your fine AMG wheels for some non suiting Audi wheels?

Just playing, not sold, looking at SL replicas in 19. I thought it might give others some ideas. I still prefer the AMG 5 spoke design.

On an Audi those rims look good. On an AMG, it just makes the car look a bit confused.

Not feeling those wheels either... Doesn't matter if they are Audi, AMG, Forged, staggered/non-staggered, whatever.... They just don't look good on the E55!

I would have never guessed that the Audi wheels would ever bolt onto a MB.

I will powder coat them pink for you free of charge....then you can have the official "MBWORLD Breast Cancer Awareness" wheels!!!

That way...at least something good can come out of your idea...other than ...epic failure and convenient tire rotation!!!!

I'd usually say whatever floats one's boat but not today.
I almost think these wheels wouldn't even look good on the audi let alone your ride. You need the stagger man.
