SSR GT3 Satin or Breyton Spirit on '04 E55?

Hi guys, I need to make a decision by this week. I know HREs are the best blah blah blah, but IF you have to choose between these two, which one will you pick? Are these rims too cheap for an //AMG? Just wanna know what ppl think. I might end up with a set of HRE 547R like many ppl here on this forum. Anyways, THANKS in advance!

***sorry i don't know how to post photos***

Why put Breyton on a Benz when they're strictly for BMWs?

SSR GT3 wheel will not clear the brakes on an E55. They won't fit.

I agree the Breytons will not fit (5x120) and they are very heavy wheels. I had them on my 540i. The SSR are beautiful in a staggered lip but if they don't fit then I guess it doesn't matter. The SSR might fit if you you 10mm wheel spacers from H&R.
Good luck
Mario

I was looking for staggered wheels on Tire Rack and liked the looks of the SSR GT3. It isn't clear from your post which E55 you have, w210 or w211? According to the Tire Rack website this wheel in 18" version will fit the w210.

Are you referring to this E55? It belongs to Vic55 and I think he's rollin on Maya STM. Between the Maya and SSR, I would go for the Maya. I have his car set as my wallpaper!

I have no spirit

Yeah my wheels are Maya STM's they are the only lightweight wheels Maya makes I believe. They are light at 24lbs and 26lbs in the rear- Here's a better pic:

Hey Vic55, love the rims! Anyhow, is that a sensor on your rear door handle? I thought they were only on the driver's door handle? Is this something special only on AMGs?

Never though much of Keyless Go but now that I have it-its awesome. No fumbling for the keys.
