Optional alloys
Does anyone have a thought on the optional 5 spoke wheels available at no extra cost in some markets?

hey Finnish,
Great Wheels! I do have a question regarding the tires. I see that you got the the car's limitier removed w/ your v-max upgrade. Are the tires you got on rated to take the E55 load at high speeds? I thought the v-max should only be done with the special load tires from continental and dunlop? If they are indeed rated, I'm aching to change these continentals due to road whine at 12,000 miles.
Thanks

Finnish, looks like you had the Styling III to start with, but upgraded to the wheels in the later shots, right?
Guess you didn't like the Styling III's much then!

hello 
the styling III rims are for my winter tyres and they're the original 18" factory rims. The AEZ 19" I have are for my summer tyres. They're 2-part rims and are actually lighter than the smaller Styling III rims. 
Thanks for all input guys!
