what do you think are the best 18" wheels for a black e55 ??




just sold my stock 18s with winters .... now im looking for a new set of 18s and new winter tires...




gimme suggestion better yet some pictures .....


I was thinking 2012 c63 split 5 spoke wheels ...either authentic or reps ...but it does need spacers...also a flush staggered stance is preferred
:[ I don't mind paying extra for spacers but hey if something like oem cls ones comes along that has the flush look without spacers would be real sweet.


thanks guys

Imo if you are sticking with 18's, the stockers look the best.
Sorry

Why would you sell your OEM wheels to get some shoddy replicas?

.. they were in decent condition and the rear winters are almost done and this guy offered me a crazy amount to have them. I had to sell them and if you were me you would too.
