Please post pics of you aftermarket 18's.

My oem wheels are all screwed up ( previous owner was an idiot ) and now I want to change them but my tires are BRAND NEW ( about 2000 miles on them ).

I want to see what my options are on the E55.

I like those along with the F14's.

Also, if anyone has a set of 18's they want to get rid of, hit me me up.

I've been very pleased with these, particularly if you have ceramic pads to reduce brake dust

Lowered via STAR and these are CLS500 AMG wheels. They are similar to E55 wheels but with a different offset.

Ahhhh.... I see. I knew there was something different in just how the car sits on those wheels. I think its the perfect offset. Now to do some homework and find out what the offsets of our stock wheels are compared to the CLS 500 AMG offsets. Your ride height, wheels, and offsets are just perfect... aggressive but still classy with that nice OEM look. I wish our rides came stock like yours.

Thanks for the pics.
