Noob here got a few questions
Just purchased an e55 and I can't wait to mod it! That being said I do have a few questions
I wanna buy an extra set of wheels for winter months. Will these clear the brakes and sit flush?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231645545106?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
My next question is what is the best tire suggestion to get traction at the track and is still decent in the rain? toyo r888?
I want about 650hp crank
Any idea what power diff is on custom dyno tune vs EC stage 3 package? How is the off the shelf map? Anybody make cheaper parts that are equal quality? The Tb is 2000$ and I find that to be absurd but I heard its 45whp crazy sh$t

Custom versus box tune will be a fairly small increase but will suit your car better.
With parts you generally get what you pay for. The exception is some OEM MB parts are either Bosch or other name manufacturer but you pay massive mark ups for MB brand instead of the Bosch etc equivalent.
TB is between 200-500 for an 82mm, larger is more. 2k is a bit steep. Jump on eBay or ask a vendor here for a price.
