I Want You(r Vote)!

Decisions, decisions......

I photoshopped Maya RT5's on a pic I saved from MattinLA's E55. He has 20" Lorinser LM5's. The Lorinsers are a little under 2k more than the Maya's.

Comments? I will be going with 19's

e55211 traded in for CLS55
Looking at the picture itself, not my type. It may be different when you actually see it "live".

I personally like the Maya wheels better. It's something different from the bandwagon Lorinser, AMG, HRE, wheels if you ask me.

MB E55 AMG
The 1st ones are preety agressive and sporty, if they go with your style, i think they are great..

the second ones look to e500ish to me!!

Second set is definitely better. IMO, hard to beat HRE 547R's - though I might consider iForged Evolutions as well (waiting for info on iForged LS Lightweight series - hopefully, they'll have a fitment for us):

Is it me or does iForge seem to be a HRE styling? It seems that HRE comes out with something then iForge has similar style later on.

HRE customer service is second to none IMO...but going back to the original topic, although neither are "my style", I'd go with the Maya. The HREs, I'm finding everyone and their mother, including myself, has a set.

I agree as well. None of those wheels look good, unless your favorite show is Pimp My Ride. HRE is on top of my list.

I like the Maya's better but then I'm biased because I have the Maya STM's on mine.

People may like the first one better if they can see the lip which is much bigger than the Lowenhart. The problem with both wheels posted are that they are tanks, super heavy. I know the RT5's are around 30lbs and the Lowenharts are right there with them. Anybody got some lip pics?

I agree wholeheartedly. The first ones look too ghettoish - takes away from the class of the E55. The Lorinsers, IMO, are way too overplayed. Theyre so plain looking and everyone has 'em. Look into some HREs or even some studded AMGs.

Agree with Eleanor Owner, but if I had to pick only one or the other, the 2nd ones look better.

Looks like a cross between "name your favorite professional athlete's car" and South Florida. I like the stock look personally.
