Niche Essen pics

There's not many pics of these on w211s (that I could find), so I thought I'd share a few pics of my new wheels.

19x8.5 35 and 19x10 40

Nice. I like those.
That design might stand out better if you tweaked the offset with some spacers.

10mm spacers in the back and 15mm up front, you're set. What are you lowered on?

In 5x112 19", these are the most aggressive offsets available.

It's funny, in the pics, the wheels look high on offset, but in person, they fit the car great. It may the aggressive shadow that makes it look more tucked in the pics.

I'm definitely considering 10mm spacers though. Thanks for the feedback.

Lowered on the washer/bent rear sensor frame method.

Those look great. Thinking about the same wheels for my cls in 20s.

Niche wheels are a great wheels for the money. Same manufacturer (MHT) as many
high end brands (like adv1 etc) for a fraction of the price.

Essen's have always been one of my favorites. Your black with silver wheels are a perfect combo. Good job!

Adding spacers in the rear on the E55 will result in it sticking out and possibly look ghetto IMO

The front might work but not needed if you see it in person. Ill take some pics during lunch to show what I mean

moehler's car is lower, so the top of the wheel is cambered in farther than kponti's, which makes the wheel seem to have a less aggressive offset. Get the camber corrected on moehler's and they'll most likely look the same.

Flush does not equal ghetto.

20" Essens on mine, I tried to import some Rohana RC10's as they look the similar (better) and have much more depth to them, unfortunately shipping and customs costs ruled out that idea for me

Disagree about the Rohana RC10s. I was seriously considering them before purchasing my Essens. What I like a lot more about the Essens is that they have the monoblock design. The spokes go out to the outer edge seamlessly, it looks elegant. With the RC10s it looks like they're almost two-piece wheels. But to each his own I guess!

Yes, my wheels definitely have some negative camber. The fit really looks great in person, though.

After a week on these, I really like them. I get tired of wheels easily, and am picky about fitment and style. They really fit the car great imo.
