I was thinking the 19 vossen dont look as good as the 20, i was wrong. Love this car. 
Dima,
I see the tire valve is mounted in a weird location. How close is it to hitting the calipers? I was going to get these and use TPMS but the vendor is saying the valve might hit. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes, good point, forgot to mention you would need shorter tire valves as it does scratch the front calipers a bit. It was too late when I noticed so I just let it be.Originally Posted by E63//AMG

Every single post on E55's and E63's with Vossen CV3's... no one knows their offsets. Vossen doesn't even know when you ask them. It's not like they can keep track. But it's the weirdest thing. The recommended offset for the E55 is 32 - 43. The stock rims are et30 front and et39 for the rears. So on the 20x9 for the front, it's a no brainer. Get the 5x112 CV3 ET32 wheel. But for the rear, the 20x10.5 comes in a ET30 and ET42! So what offset to get for the rears?? Pick the wrong one and you've made a $1500+ mistake (with tires) just for the rears.
How do all these E55 and E63 owners run around and not know their own offsets? And I mean every thread on many boards this happens. It's so freakin annoying. No one knows! Yeah their ballin and enjoying their rides with the CV3'. But unless they are a girl, they should know this basic stuff.

Second, quit *****ing and whining. If you want a set of CV3s, call Vossen and tell them your application and they will send the proper wheels to fit your car, they have excellent customer service and stand behind their products

The offsets were stamped on the boxes the wheels came with. The rear was 42. I have more important things to remember and cherish than my wheels offsets.
I also have owned more wheels than you have owned underwear. You need to calm down.

Vossen makes 2 different offsets for the 20's.
20x9 +25 / +32
20x10.5 +30 / +42
20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +42 is what you would need.
