Wheels for E55 opinion
Well, the zaga continues with Discount tire and Carlsson to replace the two front wheels they scratched ~3 months ago.
Please give me true opinions on these wheels, I like the looks, and also price is very accesible, but I don't want to rush into buying other wheels just because I don't know when Carlsson is going to get some wheels in the US.
Brand Name Cub Linea (I've never heard of them)
Model: Barletta
They make 18 x 8 $ 313.00
and 18 x 9 $ 325.00
and 18 x 9.5 $ 332.00
Should I put them on the E55???

I've seen the video of your burnout...you better pick the strongest one.
I like the second one, but I'm not sure about on an E...it just looks so 'dainty' for some reason. I like a more powerful wheel on a car of that size.

The first wheel isn't my style, so I won't comment on it.
The SSR GT1 is a nice wheel, but I don't think it's the right wheel for a sedan based on 2 things. First, for the Mercedes I would recommend the SSR-GT3. While more expensive, it is a much nicer wheel. Second, both the GT1 and GT3 are nice wheels, but the spoke design is too thin, leaving too much open for your car. I don't think it will look balanced as another choice might.
