This is the exact wheel size and tire size on the current E63. I love the look, but these wheels (Gunmetal) turned out to have a bit more blue in them that I would like. Gunmetal should have a touch of blue, but these have more than I would like.... maybe they will grow on me. Only gave $600, so if I swap them later I won't feet too bad. The car handles even better now, and the vibration I could never eliminate is now gone... smooth as budda to a buck thirty!

Here's a better look at the "too much blue" I was talking about ... Full sunlight. Maybe it's the fact that the car is silver that makes the blue stand out more. Keep this in mind if you are buying knock offs.

Hey BagMan, do you have OEM wheels or knock-off in that photo? If knock-off, do you have this much blue in your wheels? I basically went with the same set up as E63//AMG back on page 24 of this thread. Now that I look back at those pic's I can see a little more blue in his wheels that I didn't notice before. Maybe I'm being to picky! haha! I don't think the OEM S65/S63 wheels had this much blue... here are some OEM pics.
Mine are knock-offs which were sold by Sonic Tuning (ST181), but they are no longer made. People seem to like the ST181 because it is somewhat concave compared to most other knock-offs being sold. Yours looks very close, but it's hard to compare in most pics.

Mine do have some blue in them:
Yours look a lot closer to OEM color than mine. IMO
The specs are ForgeStar F14 Gunmetal, Front 19x8.5 et 32 Semi concave, Rears 19x10 et 35 super deep concave. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position's. 245/40 R19 in the Front and 285/35 R19 in the rear. Got the whole set up done for $2,100.
