Niche Essen 10" rears 8.5" fronts


Really pleased with the look. Matches all the brushed aluminum accents the standard S package comes with.

Looks really good. Would you mind sharing the specs? I'm also looking for new rims for my black 14' 63S. Currently sitting on the upgraded forged rims that I"m not too fond of.

Can you take a rear shot to see the concavity of the rears?

Mponsig

I have no clue beyond 19"x8.5" fronts
19"x10" rears

Go to niche wheels website Essen model and you'll find all the specs.

Mponsig

I'll work on that. Been too busy to take any shots aside from the crappy iPhone

Also, I've never been on a forum that has been so difficult to post pics. I have photobucket, prior experience posting tons of pics and everything but this site is different I guess. Am I missing something?

Thumbnails? Silly ...........

42 front and 55 in rear. I got those same sizes but the rims in black on my 2010 e350 rwd sport. Waiting for pothole season to be over with here in chicago. I did however put 5mm spacers on it front and rear.

chrisvr6

What tire sizes did you go with? And lets see some sideshots please! Looks great!

Mponsig

I stuck with the same summers the car came with.

looking good!

Looks great any plans to lower the car?

Mponsig

I've thought about it but I've never lowered my cars. I've owned a Saleen that was already lowered. It does look awesome when set at sport+ mode!

What I'm more interested in is more power. I see you've got the AMS tune. I'm struggling to find a tuner in North Jersey and my E63 is a daily driver. I'd actually be quite fine with a pre loaded plug and play tune just to get this beast above 600 ponies. Funny to be looking for more power when I've struggled to find enough road for this thing!

Mail ur ECU to ams they don't drill into it

Car looks great. I hear you about not having enough road. I saw 245 last night and it was still pulling hard. My car is feeling a lot better now in slightly warmer weather and after being run-in nicely. Sport mode guys... I'm tellin ya!

Has anyone found a good alternative to the OEM contis? I want OEM sizing. The contis on my C63 sucked so I might just save them for when I trade the car in a few years from now. I would love to do Michelin pilot super sports but they don't come in the proper size for the rear tire.

Michelin, are you reading this? make a PSS in 285/30/19 and you'll sell a lot of them! I installed them the last year of my C63 and they were miles ahead of Yokos that came with the car.

Chocofishez

I went up to 245 front and 275 rear PSS on my C. Totally transformed the car and is the way it should have come stock IMO.

The PSS are the best tires I have ever run. Sad they aren't available for the E63!

kart125

I guess we could go 295/30 in the rear but the stock wheels with the 285's are already at the limit. I've read that someone did it on this forum but can't remember who... Might be an option...

otakki

Vdubpower is one of them.

benyl

just get a 19x10 wheel and get the PSS.

Chocofishez

I don't want to buy new wheels. In calgary you can get some of your money back with winter wheels, but not with aftermarket 'summer' wheels. Everyone's tastes are different.

AMG12

Not sure how many miles you have on the Continentals but when they are spent go with the some Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Positions, great deal at TR. I know these cars have a ton of torque (590lb/ft mine with PP) but barely 7000 usable miles for rears is a joke.
Thats with zero burnouts. Will not go with Continentals again!

usamuscle

beautiful ride, but for that much money I would get something that dosent look so close to the E63 wheels.

vdubpower

i have 295 on my rears with stock wheels, just looks a little bulgy , but no lack of performance,
i keep the psi around 41 all around.

Mponsig

I love them babeeeeeeeeeee!!!
