I personally feel that the HRE 547R wheel does not have enough body to it and looks to light on the E55. Now, the HRE 441R and the 448R wheels have more body to them and would be my choice if I were going to use an HRE wheel.
After seeing all the different combinations I still feel the 19" "Maya" STM, Graphite Polished version of that wheel, would be my choice. - Bob

People please do me a favor and start throwing out rims that would look nice on our beloved W211 that aren't on this thread. I am in the market for new rims and would like your opinion. thanks. I was thinking about black centered LM's or the OZ SL 3 piece forged...not sure. Just throw out ideas please...

are youtalking about BBS LMs??! Those would look money but I'd keep the silver center...also consider the s65 wheels, especially if you went back to the amg kit

'04 E55 - Brilliant Silver; '22 RAM TRX - Granite
wheels for racing
would those "bling" style wheels would work for racing events??? I have a bone stock '04 E55. I raced it in 5 autocross events last year and now I'm ready to get an extra set of rims/tires specifically for autocross and track events. Any advice on dimensions? Should I stick to the OEM dimensions? I doubt I could find a better wheel size than what all the engineers at AMG thought works best. However, it would be my chance to break away from my mild mannered look and throw on some larger bling-style wheels for the race events.

Yeah I also think the 65 wheels are the only way to go...but check out this white '03 E55. It's stock but the interrior...well...it speaks for itslef :v

2004 E55
I have an 04 E55. I am thinking about buying the 19" HRE's that "Dr. Chill" has on his car. However, I live in NY and I am concerned that I will bend the rims. Anyone that could give me some feedback on how easily the 19" rims bend would be appreciated. What is the biggest size tire that will fit in the wheel well with the 19" rim ? I am looking to cushion the rim.
