E55 AMG
18" F14's

Mounted my new F14's yesterday. Decided on sticking with 18's for the most weight savings. Looks like a total of about 40 pounds of weight reduced.
Got the wheels from ACG, took about 5 weeks to get them. Perfect fit, no complaints at all.

Good choice, I have a set like that myself. One thing I noticed is the clear coat is really easy to peel. So becareful get the tires mount and dismount.

Pics are super tiny but looks good from what I can see.

+1 on the drop. I think it'll set off everything!

Love the 18's! I'm a big fan of the meaty rubber look.

Yeah the pics are small, I uploaded them on my new iMac. Haven't figured it out yet, lol.
Tires are stock size in the front, rears are 275x35.

Plan on getting "Stardul" to work his magic on the stance next weekend.
