need advice on buying a new set of wheels!!
i currently have the exact set-up shown on my avatar (with the carbon ceramic brakes... lol) and my car is black....
i never bought rims in my life so im clueless to what goes with what and whats good or bad...i checked out some wheel/tire set-ups on tirerack.com and nothing seemed to interest me at all...anyone here have a black e63 with after market rims and want to show me some pics? or suggest something in particular?
all i know,is that i dont like all chrome i find it pretty cheezy...and i was thinking maybe all black? considering i have a black car....anyways lol any ideas would be appreciated!!
thanks
also...i dont want to restrict driveabilty...im guessing if i go with 19-20' rims its bad news no?

I'd start by looking in the forums (in this section and in the CLS section) by searching for terms like HRE, ADV and BBS to see pics .
Then I'd email wheels boutique and wheel experts and ask them if they can send me pictures of different setups on my car.

Really, carbon ceramic brakes?!...Haven't seen any of those around.
Anyway, sounds like Vic can offer some sound advice.

Who's that dude in the background? Is he anyone we know?
Nice pix, by the way. Look at the body colored side marker...didn't notice that before. Looks like the brakes has been changed to brembo.

Hey 6.2amg I saw your thread, and there are a lot of choices to make your whip look good and clean. Checkout our website www.Acealloywheel.com to checkout our wheel selections. The Mesh7 would be perfect for your car. Have an ACE day!

The OEM brakes are Brembos?!...Didn't know that one--now I love my E63 even more. Learning something new everyday!
