Thanks...they are Maya STM's- I am not sure who the parent company is but I believe Lowenhart. They are pretty light weighing in at 24lbs in the fronts and 26lbs in rears. Just went for a change from the norm (HRE's, BBS, AMG's etc) plus I have BBS LM's on my M3.

The fronts are 19x8.5 and the rear is 19x9.5- I wish the wheel came in a 10 inch rear but that setup is for a BMW.

Hi guys, I'm new here. Having browsed through all your postings and pics, i have decided to post a link of images of my W210. A friend of mine has allowed me to use his website to post these pics. I have put together a collection of shots of my car so for those with 56K connection or slower, the images may take a while to load. Also, as i was in a hurry in putting the shots together for a friend;whose also a car enthusiast; all shots are of my car except for the ones showing the rear seats.

thanks for the welcome brothers...
The wheels i have are HR Racing 18s. I tried to get 19s but that style didn't come in that size when i bought it a year ago.
The only plan i have for mods would be the Kleeman S/C kit but in Australia, there are no Kleeman agents, so anything i get would have to be imported from the US. I'm waiting for prices to come down to the 8K mark, in which case i might just take the plunge and import it over. Freight will probably be at least US$500 to 1000 with it being the size and weight it is.
Alternatively, i can wait for a used W211 to be on the market and trade in mine. U guys have it lucky over there. To get a new W211 E55 in Australia (Oz) inclusive of all on road duties and taxes; we have to pay the equivalent of U.S$165K. And a 2 year old used specimen with say 20,000 miles would still probably set me back U.S$125K.
The positive side of all this is that it makes the S/C option not too bad an idea. I believe the Kleeman kit is a bolt on, is that correct ? If so do you have to make any other mod to the transmission or engine block to cope with the increased power ?
Also, I read somewhere in this or another AMG forum that there is to be a water cooled version coming on the market soon ? If this is true, do u guys know when it is avail and costs ?

Thanks for your welcome and compliments on the car once again, and hope to participate with u guys on anything AMG soon.

W210 E55 w 19in monoblocs + H&R springs

Just got my wheels, tires and springs. Check out my car at the link below. What do you guys think about this? Too low? The handling is vastly improved.

Very nice Zed.

There's no question now that you got 19's on.

I don't think it's too low at all. It's at a perfect height.

Thumbs up Zed's E55

Car looks awsome man! The 19's mono's plus the H&R = What's next? Think you should consider the pre-painted lense from evosport.

Car sits perfect Zed. I agree with James, you need to remove that amber from your car with either the pre-painted lenses or at least clear ones. Good meeting you at the GTG...
