New HRE's ordered today...

sweeeeeeeeeeet! with S03's. 19x8.5 front with a 2" flat lip and 19x10 rear with a 3.5" flat lip. also ordered the lorinser trunk lip for a cheap $367 i think??? the aluminum shift knob i ordered last week (that doesnt simply work for e55) is of such nice quality i may make it fit. and i ordered a lowering (rods or things, kind of hard to explain) kit thats supposedly a self install for $500. its adjustable rods that mb actually makes that resets the ride height wherever you want. all the way to the ground or only a 1/4 inch. than you can hit the raise button and that still works fine. wheels are a month out, ill post when i get all together.

post a pick trock! as far as potholes, i only lose 1/2" of tire height and lip repairs are relatively cheap compared to the center and back side for these 3 piece wheels. 12 lbs lighter per wheel!!! btw, do you have a pic of what the kleeman steering wheel looks like? my old c32 had a fatter, leather wrapped ceiling wheel i liked better.

Looks great!!! I love HRE wheels, there's just so much class to it. I had a set of 546 on my Lotus and it just made a huge difference in the way it looks.
