I bought an E55 and it needs wheels
So I recently bought this E55 for 4500$ and I need some wheels to put on them. Previous owner bent all the OE rims and did a horrible fender rolling job hence the price.
I need a rim set that doesn’t cost as much as the car but enough to get this thing looking fair and running smooth.
Any store recommendations or brands?
Im located in Maryland. Thank you

I honestly don't know of any local shops, as I purchase my wheels directly from the manufacturer. Try this link for local shops.

The brands that I am familiar with from just reading some swaps are:
HRE
BBS
Vossen
Volk
OZ
Rohana
Stance
but what I liked about tirerack was that it told me what would fit. I’m not 100% sure on the offsets for the 55 (if you have a thread link that tells me what offsets that I can do, that would be great if someone could link that).

Ok, out of all the wheels you listed. The below ones are on the relatively cheap side. Typically under $1600 a set.
Vossen
Volk
OZ
Rohana
Stance
BBS and HRE wheels aren't cheap, as they can cost more than what you paid for your car. HRE typically run $2400 per wheel.

HRE's average price is a lot lower than the $2,400 per wheel stated above. $2,400 per wheel is for their most premium lines.
They also offer FlowForm options that start for as little as $575 per wheel.

Yeah I saw them, I like the FF15 style. Reminds me of the black series rims.

I have some to sell 
They're 18's though; usually a deal breaker for potential buyers

Check out CarID.com. They're a forum sponsor and have some cheaper wheels (I've bought a couple of sets from them, had great customer service). I've got a set of Niche wheels for my E63 and have nothing bad to say about them.
I'd sell them, but I'm in CA have zero interest in shipping them. I think I have less than 5k miles on them and the tires. They're just sitting in a tire rack right now since I decided to go back to the stock wheels.
