daaaaaaaaaaaammmmmn!
those Forgestars look SWEET on your car!
I've got the same finish in 18" sitting in my garage to put on my W208 CLK 55.
I wasn't in a hurry, and in fact they've been sitting for a couple of months because I've been busy, but after seeing how nice they look on your car I think I'm gonna have to drop by Discount Tire tomorrow to order up some new tires!

Thank you sir!! - just remember the hubcentric rings and new bolts![/quote]
Well I ordered my new tires from Disount Tire this morning.
the wheels came with the hubcentric rings and the same center caps you have.
my dealer (Modbargains.com) told me that the wheels were supposed to be used with the factory wheel bolts - do I need to order some different lug bolts?!?
thanks for any info you might have!

There's some chatter going on in the 211AMG forum right now about it - apparently you should have "cone" or "conical" seated lug bolts v the factory which are "ball" seated. I went ahead and ordered a new set (3 sets actually, because I got the first size wrong, the second set are RAD german bolts but they're silver colored and then I got the bright idea to order black ones to see how that would look). Each set is about 35.00 dollars plus shipping. I'm running the factory ones right now but the new ones go on next week (when I get home from the business trip on now). Supposedly, there's a possibility of the bolts coming loose and a member (with a different brand of wheels) sheared one of his off when he used stock instead of cone (and had problems with other ones coming loose). For 35.00, I'm not messing with it or taking the chance. Hope this helps.

I just bought my wife an E550W4M & am thinking about doing these wheels, but i wanna see how they look.

Hot dayum BT! By chance does your 55k double as your dining table?
She is clean!
She is clean!
The curse of the black cars - they have to be clean and swirl free (really swirl minimized) to look good
My neighbors think I'm certifiable, especially since I'm now washing her in the rain after I read a thread about it

thanks for the info! yeah I looked at the wheels and they are "cone seat" and pulled one of my lugs and its "ball seat" so I called Discount Tire back up and the guy new exactly what I was talking about - he has the right cone seat bolts for my car in stock for $60 a set, so I told him to add it to my order (special ordered a set of Hankook Ventus V12's, hearing lots of good feedback on them). I know I coulda got them a bit cheaper on fleabay, but I wanted to insure I got the exact right size with no hassles, and Discount Tire has been good to me (hell I've spent probably 10 grand there in the last 10 years!)

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
930 chas...
I can't remember where you got your Forgestars...was it Sonic? Im over on the east coast and can't seem to find anyone trustworthy to deal with. I'm also not willing to wait 8 weks to get some, I may not keep the car that long...thanks if you can help.
