Does anyone have pictures of Maya DTM wheels on a 2003 or 2004 E55 or E500? I am considering replacing my stock 18" AMG chromes with 19" Maya DTMs. After 13k miles, all 4 of my rims are bent or dented so much that I need new rims (not sure how this happened; I filed an insurance claim so we'll see what happens). Has this happened to anyone else?

 

Here is a shot of the DTM's on an E500. I personally like the STM's better....



STM's on the new 5...



or STM's on an Audi. I am not sure about the quality or build of these wheels though. They don't look too bad.

 

WOW! UNBELIEVEABLE! Have you been hopping curbs or taking your E55 offroading?

I expected the quality of AMG Double Spoke to be better than that! You had them chromed-plated? No AMG rims come from the factory with chrome. That may be the culprit. I have read these rims do not take to the chromeing process well because the wheels are very porous. That is the reason Tire Rack and many retailers do not sell the Double Spoke in chrome.

The 2004 AMG Catalog say the following about the E55 rims:

"E55 WHEELS USE A CORE OR VERMICULITE, AN INNOVATIVE WEIGHT-SAVING MATERIAL FROM OUR CHAMPIONSHIP DTM CAR"

 

Those wheels are kinda nasty looking. Just my opinion.

 

Imo the DTM looks a little too bling bling for an E55 but the STM is very nice. I'd prefer the STM myself but already got me sum HRE's . I've seen the STM in person and they absolutely nice.

 

Yo Kev, any chance you got weights on the fronts and rears for the W211 E55??

 

18X8 - 28.7 lbs

18x9 - 29.5 lbs

 

18X8 - 28.7 lbs

18x9 - 29.5 lbs

 

Kevin = Dictionary of Mercedes Benz lmao! :d

 

Jam, I prefer the title "Dr. of Mercedes-Benz Facts, Trivia and Nonsensical Stuff - PhD!"

 

Damn those stock wheels are heavy!!
