They've replicated every wheel out there except for the 18" e55 wheels... and I can't for the life of me find a decently priced set that isn't already curbed and welded...

because people like the E63 wheels. i think only people that drag race use 55 wheels and there are plenty out there for that. i'll sell you my 63 wheels with barely used tires if you're interested.

The stock 55 wheels are nice but there are quite a few good looking alternatives if you want a brand new stock looking, stock size set. I like the stock ones but I wouldn't have much trouble finding replicas I like which I will do when my brake pads finally need swapping.

This place is a joke.
There "were" some replica 18" E55 wheels being sold. OEwheelsllc.com used to sell them. I bought a set.

They suddenly disappeared along with other OEM replica wheels and vendors. I read that Daimler sued these companies for copyright infringement.

^yes I agree. I can't get myself to like the E63 finish... it's too uh... tacky. I love my CLS55 wheels, but all 4 have bent and needed repair, 2 rears have cracked and were repaired at the best shop I could find in the area (the one with all the Ferraris and Lambos out front- Glenn's in Tampa).

Any place where I can get at least a new set of the CLS55 19's??? Again anything decent that pops up is astronomically priced...

I've been looking for a deal on a pair of E55 rears for a few months now.
