Got pictures of these wheels on your AMG??

I have been slow to buy any wheels but these are flat out SICK looking! Anyone put these on their E55 yet? Like to see some pictures , before I pull the trigger. Are they lighter? I need lighter!

I have seen these wheels in black and in 20's on a W211 before. I'll try to find some if you care for them...

I actually think they're really nice.

If you find some more, useable, pics, I'm sure someone on here wouldn't mind photoshopping it for you.

They remind me a lot of ADV1 FlowSpecs/Niche Sports. Albeit better quality and lighter since the FlowSpecs are their one cast line at the moment.

Personally, I'd love to see what some ADV.1 10 Track Spec Deep Concaves would look like on an E55, though I know they're not everyone's favorite around here.

I only see pics of the front. I guess with no concave face the back wheel looks very stockish.

Thanks for the photo shop and other pictures.. This was just a clear picture that I found of the style, not putting this color, light concave or texture on my CL (just the style) .. This is a front wheel in mild concave and textured pweter paint..

I would want Silver for my CL and the Deep concave they offer in the CF5.. I think if you go wider than 9.5" rear, then you start losing your concave..

Just looking for more pictures and any feedback from users..

12.5" rears. Still looks damn concave to me. Go as wide as you can fit

Couple more weeks and you'll get a taste for just that.

your info is wrong on that one bro. The wider you go the more wheel width you have for the same offset as a smaller wheel. Hence the more concave the wheel will get. Look around most deep concave wheels are 10" or wider.

Dunno if it popped up on your FB feed but I've got 2 more cracks in a wheel. I'm getting pretty sick of this **** so I've been browsing wheels in between practice tests.

Katie bumped into him at Central Market over the weekend, small world.

Thought about the E63 reps, thought about pulling the wheels off our E63 that never gets driven, but leaning most towards some matte black or gunmetal CLS 5 spokes that I could just transplant my tires over to. Depends what the wheel repair place is going to charge [especially if it's going to cost like half of the $579 that a new set of wheels would cost].

That, and when I showed Katie a pic of the matte black CLS's she had this to say:
