Rims question

I am getting a E55 soon prob within 6-12 months. I want to go ahead and get rims soon. Any suggestions. I was thinking Iforged, HRE, Lorinser or Brabus all 19 inch. Do 19's slow you down much? 19ers?

If you can get lightweight 19s, you will actually improve your car's performance, handling and braking due to a decrease in unsprung weight. The HRE are relatively light for their size (the new Competition line will be even more so). The Brabus rims are very heavy compared to the HRE or Iforged. Hope this helps.

Of the three, I suggest you to get HRE because of the weight saving and their designs. Brabus is very nice too but they are very heavy. Lorinser is as heavy as Brabus but the quality is not as good as the first two.

Feel free to send me an e-mail if you need some advise/suggestions.
