Rohana RC10 20x9 20x10

http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-MERCEDES-...#ht_6891wt_975

Ok... I know a lot of guys buy CLS wheels to put on their E55s. The websites fitment guide says that these will fit the CLS but not the E55. The offset for the front wheel is 35mm and 33mm for the rear. Would these fit on a E55??? Thanks for the help.

PS- these are freaking identical to black ADV1s and they are 1/8th of the cost, haha. Im in med school, so i don't have enough money (yet ) to spend on some high dollar wheels.

Is there a reason you want to fit that ET size or don't realize they have E55 fitment listed on ebay as well? click here

I love those wheels! In all black.. Only problem I'm not patient enough to wait 8 weeks for w212 fitment to be released.. Other option is Lexani they have a similar wheel.

The fitment will work but pretty aggressive for the rear. As far as looking identical to ADV1, not even.. if you look closely at the end of the spoke where it meets the lip, I think that could be the ugliest thing ever on a wheel. Unfortunately when they produce a "deep concave" cast wheel with a lip it hast to be like that. It sits a good 2" off of the lip. blech

If your looking for this wheel be sure to check with us. We are a stocking dealer for Rohana and can offer very competitive pricing.

We can certainly work with you on offsets and the proper fitment for your application and also take a deposit to pre-order and reserve a set for you.

We also have the RC5 and RC20's in stock now.

Why would you want to get a 20" rim for the e55 - they will be heavy as hell (hurt performance) and your side wall / tire profile will be stupid small (ruin ride quality)....Sure if you just keep your car parked and like to take pictures of it, 20s may look cool, but for the guy that is interested in driving, this is NOT the smart path to go down....

The RC10 is not available in 19" unfortunately. I saw your other post and will shoot you a PM on the RC5 after checking with Rohana for stock status.

read somewhere that these wheels are anchors,as in super heavy.close to 40 pounds on some models.

not sure about the RC10,but i would bet it's not much lighter.

Just out of curiosity, what are you basing this on? Have you driven the E55 on 20s? Not sure where you get that 20s are "heavy as hell" considering the stock 18s are 26lbs....my 20s are 30lbs, 16lb difference on an already 4100lb sled. Not sure how much that hurts performance. In terms of ride quality, it really isn't that much different from stock, IMHO. This is just my experience and FYI, I use my E55 as a daily driver on 20s..

Yes a friend has an e55 with 20s and as I said the ride sucks, the rims are easily damaged, etc etc.

If you think 16 pounds of rotational lbs is nothing, then you really should educate yourself on the matter.

Evidentially I should. But please reread my post. I said I wasn't sure how much this affected performance. No need to be a dbag about it. Just tryin to educate myself

Hey man I am really sorry...I was trying to respond on my phone...and you are right I was being a dbag...Sorry

Basically rotational mass can play a huge part in acceleration, deceleration, and handling. A good starter thread is here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_inertia

Here is a link with probably more formulas than you care to explore, but a lot of helpful information : http://hpwizard.com/rotational-inertia.html

IMHO, I don't think adding weight to the tire / rim combo is a good thing - acceleration and deceleration will definitely be worse. Can you run a 20" heavy rim, sure. Can you drive at Laguna or any other track, sure. That said, your car will perform better with a lighter rim (all other things being equal).

I hope the links help explain rotational mass....

We will have to bust out the scale for you guys and do some comparisons. Most of the cast wheels in this sizing run around the same weights. We have had nothing but positive feedback on the Rohana's so far.
