Man I just can't decide on which HRE's to get

First thought I wanted 549r's......but too many spokes?
840r?
546r
843r?....543r?
542r?

Somebody help me!

Anybody with a convincing pic?

Hi, I am in the same boat as you right now. My car is due here in about two weeks. I have owned several sets of HRE's and was considering ordering them this time as well. After seeing Vic's e55 withe maya wheels I a think I am going to go that route this time. You can order them in 20 by 9 and 20 by 10. The fit and finish on the lips is supposed to be superior to HRE. I think on the w211 the mesh looks best but thats just my opinion.

That sounds like a nice call. When are you getting them and from whom. I've looked at those rims at Goodroads. What finish are you getting. I think Vic has the graphite.


Will you be at the AMG challenge at Homestead?

E55
I heard the HRE's bend easy. They are beautiful and I wanted them too, but get ready to replace them everytime you hit a some bumps in the road.

Duane 20's will be nice and they shouldn't take away from the performance too much. There was a member that put 20 STM's on his car, his pics are in the sticky in this forum I believe.

Goodroads is a rip off.

IMO, the 543Rs makes this the best looking W211 I've seen so far.

Do you have an past experience with this CCW company? Just wondering, because after looking over the site I decided I really like the design SP20A design.Any comments on the reputation of this company, quality of their product etc....
Prices are really great. And although I realize the design of the SP20A wheel is a little unconventional on the E-class I kind of like the fact that they will be slightly different from all the AMG, Brabus and HRE's( which by the way would be my first choice) which you can spot any day of the week on an E-class here in Southern California.

Anyone else have any experience with CCE Wheels?

I am going to get them through Peter at Wheel Experts. He usually seems to have the best prices around and he is a nice guy.

CCW's are the preferred rims of C5 Corvette owners and especially racers. The owner of the company John Perner gives unparalleled customer service and the quality is excellent. Just give him a call and you'll be convinced. I will be ordering a set of track wheels from him with slicks that he sells cheaply with only one heat cycle.
