HRE said they have no wheels (non forged) right now that would fit the w213 e63 straight on, without the use of 20+mm spacers for front ... since the factory bolts are 48mm thread length, if you add 20 or 25mm spacers, nobody makes 68mm+ thread length right now.

I'm still waiting for 2 rims to come in to my dealership so I can get my winter tires mounted and the rims put on. Hopefully it happens before any snow arrives here.

Can anyone comment on the downside of using the stock rims and just switching tires twice per year? Will that cause undue damage to the rims versus having a separate set? I get that going with smaller rims provides more snow tire options, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of rim options at this time. I am moving out of an Audi that I had 18" winter and 19" summer rims. What I am trying to understand is if there is any risk by just switching tires seasonally for some period of time, or if it's better to just buy a second set of the stock 20s? Thanks!

the right guy with a touchless machine shouldn't be a problem, but figure an hour to mount and balance 4 wheels each time you swap
