!@#$%^&&* I need these kinda wheels ... can you help me to get a set on the budget ?
i can definitely try. However, no promises though.
The timing when i bought my wheels were somewhat perfect.
Sold my HRE's and Forgestars.
The shop / manufacturer was telling me that i had a "deadline" to put in an order if i wanted to have wheels made.
Back in February, his reason was... "summertime is just around the corner and I'll be receiving a bunch of wheel orders. We're so backed up that I'm going to close the shop for the entire summer. So if you want wheels, let's configure them now. I have 14 orders to complete and we're done for a while."
With him saying that... i ended up throwing him money the next day.
I tried asking him if i can get a discount if i ordered 3 sets total. He looked at me and said... i'll charge you more cause we're very backed up.
My wheels finished around late March. His usual turn around time is 12 business days. But it ended up taking a little over 3 weeks.
Got lucky i guess.
P.S. - my one and only mistake was the valve stem placement. I hate exposed valve stems. If you take a good look at any of my wheel pics, you'll notice that there's no valve stem on any of the lips. super clean look. Nor are there any valve stems on the rivets. I messed up. I drilled the hole myself. The stupid thing is on the inner barrel bent at a 90 degree angle. It's a mini valve stem millimeters away from hitting the calipers when in motion. Luck times 2!

Hi guys, picked up an 06 e55, coming from an 07 350. Swapping out all my late model parts before I carmax the old one haha.
So far it has
Eurocharge ecu
Late model tails
Late model trunk trim
Late model mirrors/auto dim blue glass
Euro door pins
Fake carlsson front lip
CF rear diffuser
Cls wheels
Washer/bent rear bracket drop
Amg trunk lip
Anyone know how to swap the glove box? I miss having the little built in tray.
Also going to eventually pull the headlight bezels out of my 07 and put them into these hid headlights.
I noticed the e55 headlights level themselves on start, does this mean I have active cornering? I can't really notice at night but am still curious.
Last thing to fix (driving me nuts!!) Is the dynamic seats, I made a separate thread to record my progress on that front.
Also, if anyone is curious, the rearview mirror is unfortunately not a direct swap.
After I get everything else all tidied up, I hope to do the e63 bumper upgrade as well, then I think I will be done with mods. Kind of considering swapping out the rear door cards for sunshade ones but I'm wishy washy about it.
So, I HATE asking questions about wheel fitment, but it seems like not many people in this thread have included their offsets along with their wheel widths. Could someone tell me how well/poorly a set of wheels that are 19x9.5 front +22 and 19x10.5 rear +15 would fit on our cars? It seems like it would be pretty aggressive.
I have some nice 20 inch wheels running the popular 245/30/20 & 285/25/20 tire sizes. I currently have Pirelli pzero's with a load index of 90 in front 92 in back. Our stock tires have 93 in front & 97 out back. I keep getting blowouts and bumps in my front tires, is anyone else experiencing this??
The only companies that make the proper load indexed tires in this size are off brands like lexani & lionhart.
Have you had an alignment done? With that amount of drop, it looks as though you would have some serious negative camber, which would be eating tires. Also, what tire pressures are you running?

Alignment was performed and all good there is some negative camber but no worse then on any other lowered car I've had, I keep the psi at 35-40. I tend to lean towards the harder side. The max psi is 45 or 50 I think. And yes the car eats tires but that doesn't bother me. What does bother me is when quality tires with under 3K miles fail. I called tire rack and they blamed it on load.
I run the same tires in the same sizes, with no issue. How wide are the wheels? Are you aligned on factory hardware or have you got an aftermarket solution in there?

Fronts are 20x8.5 or 9, my front suspension is all OEM. What PSI are you at?
