I love the classifieds!!!

Scored a sweet set of wheels!!

Was looking for a second set of wheels for my E55, my current SL65 wheels are over 60 pounds a piece!!!

The new set up is 24 pounds a wheel!! With tire should be around 48 pounds. That should feel better.

What do you guys think, should I powdercoat these black? Car is flint grey grey

Throw them on the car and see what they look like, they may look good as they sit. Powder coating will add a little weight but I always vote for black wheels!

This place is a joke.
With those offsets they are going to stick out on the rear...maybe enough to look goofy.

I was worried about that too but I have access to a CNC machine so if I need to take 5mm off the back plate I can, worse case scenario.

Good idea if there is enough meat there and the hubcentric is deep enough

The fronts will fill out the wheel wells nicely I think. You can always plasti-dip them black for a while to see how they look, if you get bored or change your mind it's easy enough to undo!

Yup exactly, we shall see when they come in. Definitely will do a different tire set up to make for better fitment.

Exactly what I was thinking, get some plasti dip on and see. Will update when I have them on!

Those are prone to cracking, keep a close eye on them
