Thanks! I just put a front window strip so it looks a bit more cooler in my opinion. But love how it turned out! Been nonstop working on the car. Now the steering wheel clicks from the blinker when I turn it to left then back to right. I will take it apart tomorrow, easy fix for sure. And my right windshield spassed out and stoped then my left beat the **** out of it so now the right is lose and not working. Probably easy fix 😂

Are your headlights a little yellow, or is that just the angle of the photo?

Hit up Gary Lo for lights.

It looks very clean, I like it. What wheels?

They’re VOSSEN VFS2 they aren’t made for E55’s, but with my rarity of smarts I figured a way to make the suckers fit and don’t regret all the waiting! Just lowered the car literally 2 min ago! Pain in the *** for the rear, unbolted the drivers side axel

Looks great - like this setup much better than the black wheels.

You have the stance perfected. Are you using lowering links? My car was lowered by Star but doesn't sit as low as your does. My only issue with going this low, is tearing up my carbon lip on every speed hump, I go over.
Many years ago, I got high sided on a speed hump. Very embarrassing

the black wheels were a simple change for a broke boy 😂 no but it’s lowering links! Pain in the *** but worth it. That’s actually in comfort mode, not even lowest it can go. I like how it is I’ll just lower in car shows

Usually not a fan of tinted tail lights but yours look good and compliment the black paint. Have you considered upgrading to the facelift tails? I did and think it looks much cleaner without the red stripe in the middle.

Were they the Depo ones from eBay seller fishcake? I had the same units and they worked great for about six months and then the same thing happened - top LED brake lights stopped working and error codes. I eventually found some used OEM ones on eBay for a good price and so far they've been perfect. Plug and play even though my car came from the factory with halogen tails. No coding required.

How did you make the wheels fit? Do they vibrate at high speed?

spacers, and yes they do a bit. I don’t mind due to how badass the car looks. I tightened those nuts so hard!

My car only sits that low after a couple of days when the suspension settles, but as soon as you start the car, it raises back to its correct ride height.

Damn that's the only raisin I can't stand spacers.

Any wheels that look similar but will fit?

Those look very "Mercedes" like almost like they came stock with the car. I'm debating getting a fancy set once my car is mechanically superb (still playing catch up over here).

Mandrus (offshoot of TSW) makes wheel specific for MB. The "Stirling" and "Rotech" look similar to his rims and they fit perfect

go to aliexpress they have replicas, probably have tight offset. My spacers rear are hubcentrix but the fronts apparently aren’t. You can buy hubcentric but I think it’s $250 Idk for just the front due to the extended hub. I got a killer deal on wheels/tires. I won’t buy anything if I don’t get a discount lol
