E63 wagon - new (cheap) OEM 19s - lots of pictures
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.

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.

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.

Car looks amazing.

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

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.
