These are the wheels from this thread

19x8.5 ET35 245/35 19 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo
19x9.5 ET40 275/30 19 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo

Sorry, couldn't find the scale in the garage... so no weights. I was too impatient to get the wheels on the car to keep looking for it.

Crappy pics, it was windy and overcast... the car is dirty, too. I just wiped off the wheels and calipers.











Stock height... thinking about taking it to Euro on Monday and asking them to lower it using Star. How much of a drop should I expect?

Really like the wheels... especially for the price. A great way to upgrade to 19s without breaking the bank.

Not bad Wayne, not bad at all.

Probably gonna be a 1" drop using SDS. Euro did my E and SL, with no issues. If you get any roadblocks from them, let me know, I can get it done there for you.

WayneE

Thanks, Clayton. I don't think those first pictures captured how good the car looks. Just got back from a little test drive, couple more (better?) pictures.

That's gonna look sick once you get it dropped. Nice backdrop with the storm clouds, too.

WayneE

HeissRod, my first E AMG was a 2006 white/pano E55 that I bought back in 05.

I think that's the best color combo on these cars.

looks great

Very nice, and a great deal at that price!

very nice! new pics when you get the drop.

Wayne, lose the front license plate holder, do a little Star magic and you will be golden.

Such an exclusive ride.......... I have seen exactly one of those on the road in my lifetime.

This is the moneyshot.

Looks awesome, and that's definitely the first E63 wagon I've seen. Rare indeed! For guys seeing these wheels for the first time, check out:

Previous owner (original delivery?) drilled the front bumper. Going to have it filled and painted.

Maxx

Looks great!
How do they handle? Any difference between the stock E63 rims?
Also how do they compare to the stock rims in looks? Its hard to judge by pictures only

Jycke

Off topic but i thought the estate wasn't available in NA. Guess it's just the C63 estate then? And nice car btw

WayneE

Tough to compare to the stockers, since I have been running snows in the stock sizes on the stock wheels since Dec. So far, turn in is crisp, the tires are dead silent and the ride penalty going from squishy 18" snows to 19" perf is not bad. Firmer, but not harsh.

Even though the roads here aren't cleaned up from our recent storms and the **** from the winter, traction is good so far.

Short shifted 1st, but held strong in 2nd gear at WOT.

Wow..that car is money!!! The rear already looks lowered. The wheels perfectly compliment the car...sexxy!

Saw you this morning, Wayne. You were in the 270 circle getting ready to head north on 270. I was coming from Urbana and was is on the other side of the circle in my black Rover

Car looks amazing.

kompressede

looks sharp.

Thanks, Clayton. I'm enjoying the new wheels and tires. The Hankooks really shine in the rain on those roundabouts.

Boywonda

Nice! Car looks great. I'm hearing good things about the hankooks.

WayneE

Very happy with the setup so far, but I bent a front wheel on a road trip to Indy. Changing lanes on 70W in Ohio and I fell into a crack in the earth's crust. Bent the **** out of the pass front wheel.

A shop in Indy balanced it as best as they could for the drive home.

I need the car for another road trip this weekend - thinking of having this wheel fixed and also ordering a pair of spares to keep around since they are so cheap.

Love your wagon! I've never seen an E63 on the street before. Any idea how many were produced?
