2006 E55 AMG
My wife has driven my cars less than a handlful of times and this happened:
*Drove my 04 E55 once, and cracked the front lip on that go around.
*Drove my 06 E55 once, and pulled up onto the curb infront of an ice cream parlor while I was standing there with my kids.
*Just drove my newly purchased truck this week, and to release the hand brake she just reached under the steering column and yanked the first thing that had a handle, it was the fuse box cover which broke off.
Never again, woman just dont care at all, they really dont.

Sold - 05' E55
Wow thats not too far me, I may have to follow up with someone I know that has a set of the same SL wheels that apparently have "some" damage?
Hey if the price is right it may happen

What do these weigh? Are folks just embarrassed at the answer?

Fawk, I want to say they are heavy. When I went to pick them up, I want to say they are heavier than the CLS55, which are around 30lbs up front and 33lbs in the rear....

Never wieghed them, but I can say they are heavy *** pigs. Easily twice as much with wheels and winter tires over my 20" monolite setup.

Gentlemen: I've said it before, I'll say it again:
To prevent your woman from curbing your wheels, scraping your lips, parking too close to cars say the following:
"if you curb my wheels, or scrape anything on my car, I will take your favorite pair of shoes, and your favorite purse and drag them along the curb"
not an exaggeration, my wife wont park next to a curb, let alone another car. . .she loves her G pattern and red bottom shoes too much. . .
