Looks great, I bet a set of those would look good on my wagon.

I love those wheels. They look so clean and I bet cleaning the calipers are easy

They would look AWESOME on your wagon. We can meet up sometime if you ever want to try. Besides...I'm jonsin' to see that beast.

Mikey - I'm pretty sure I can actually get my entire hand in there. :-) I WILL have clean calipers!!!!

Do you know what offset these are? Looks like there are several options.

I was told I may need spacers for the front if I get these?

I gotta say (with respect) not feeling the black wheels....it's hard to tell where wheel starts and tire stops.......
but the car is sweet.....

just an opinion

And that, folks, is how one courteously provides a differing opinion.



I will say this after having the wheels in for a bit:

1). Ride is noticeably harsher (I like it but many wouldn't)
2). With the matte wheels... If the car gets dirty it had a matte sheen (ie pollen, etc) the car really looks dirty
3). When the car is clean I've had more people compliment it in a two weeks than I had in two years prior. Not that I'm hunting for compliments...but having another car guy go out of his way to say something us nice

Two 957 Cayenne GTS's (black and silver), Duc749 (dark), departed '03 E55
You mind my asking where you got them? Did you purchase with them powdered or did do that afterwards? I have the same car as you, but my neighbor purchased a '10 E350 and loves your wheels. My wife's ML550 has these rims well (in 19") so he knows the look...but on the E class this is the first black CLS's we'd seen.

Thanks.

I feel the same way. On black wheels, I feel like it's missing a lip to break up the blackness.

Got 'em from OEM Wheels Plus (a few of us on the board have snagged them there).

Pretty good guys to deal with - put together a good package for me with tires mounted & balanced and got them to me in like three days after ordering.
