Recommend a lightweight wheel for a flint gray E55?
I'm looking to upgrade my stock wheels.
I don't want anything bigger than 18''. Lightweight. Prefer something to compliment the flint gray car color.
Any recommendations/suggestions? Also, looking to run 285s in the rear if possible, without rolling fenders, spacers etc.
Thanks in advance

Personally, on a flint grey car I would go for black/matte wheels.
Check out Forgestars. A lot of members have them.
You also might want to check out 2007/08 E63 AMG wheels, also 18 inch. Not sure out light they are.

Check out ccwheel.com. They make light weight street/track wheels. I've had 2 sets of 18's and a pair of 16" drags, very high quality. Check out this blog as it gets updated more often with new finishes, styles etc. Warning-blog is aimed towards the flush fit scene. http://flushstance.ccwheel.com/

I wonder if gunmetal finish would look good on Flint grey?
I want lighter wheels as I plan to run a wider tire in the rear (285s if possible) without rolling etc.

They don't look lightweight! And I'd avoid chrome...prefer black or gunmetal finish.

Looks like I may have my wheels and tires up for sale shortly.. Gunmetal F14s in 18s.. Less than 20 lbs all around. And some 285s in the rear

I will keep you updated once I get my new wheels (if the deal goes through) and take these ones off the car.

Id say 9/10.. No curb rash on any of the wheels. Havent noticed any sratches, but there may be 1 or 2. Would be selling to get 19s. Ya gunmetal works on pewter and flint really nicely.

Thanks! Definitely going to check this out. I actually love the deep dish look. I'm not sure how it'd look on the W211 chassis, but you can easily run an 18x9.5/10 and fit a 285 on there. Might need some rolling, though.
They don't look lightweight! And I'd avoid chrome...prefer black or gunmetal finish.

16" polished on my s
18 shot peened black on my old c5
And brushed gun metal anodize in my c43

It's all on there website ccwheel.com. Not cheap but cheap for a fully forged wheel. Around $700 ea or so for 18" I believe, unless its changed.
