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.

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.

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.
