Anyone put e63s style rims on an e55/63?

Just seeing if anyone has put the new black faced e63s style wheels on a w211, I like the look of them, just not sure how they'll look on a silver w211

Daaaaamn those look good! I was going with those in an 18inch option though, just bought brand new 18" tires and found bent and cracked stock wheels. Think these should clear the brakes and fit right?

Those are not OEM though. They are also different from the photo I posted (which doesn't have the new E63 wheels). The OEM ones are 19s.

I tried to Google and find pics but couldn't. It's risky I think, the W211 is VERY sensitive to wheels. The right wheel can make it look spectacular, the wrong wheel can DESTROY the way it looks.

Ya I know, I messaged the seller and they said it MAY need spacer on the front to clear brakes, but I've looked at other pics of wheels with same size and offset, but different brands, and they all seem to fit nicely, might give it a go to be a little different

I don't recommend spacers on an E55. I've had some good sets with no real vibration but they will always be different to no spacers and not in a good way, especially when you go into potholes.
