***19" VIP Modular VR05 with tires -- W211 Fitment ***
19" VIP Modular - VR05's wrapped in TOYO T1R's - $3500 + shipping. Will fit any W211 including E55. Front tires have tons of tread, rears are getting close to the wear bars. All wheels are straight and true with no curb rash. However, one rear tire is very slightly out of round, but those are getting close to the wear bars anyway. Oh, and the valve stems are hidden inside the inner barrels. VERY COOL! Local buyers will have first crack at them and I'm also willing to meet up for people in neighboring states.
The center caps are starting to fade a tiny bit. It doesn't show up in the pictures, but I don't want there to be any surprises. Not a big deal, just wanted to disclose it.
Just noticed that there are some water spots, that showed up on the pictures, because I let them air dry. Stupid dSLR picks up everything.

19X8.5 fronts with 245/35/19
19X9.5 rears with 275/30/19
My car does not have TPMS so not sure. I wouldn't see why there would be a problem.
Wheels retail for $5400.00 and tires another $1100.00 or so. Fronts look damn near new to me but the rears should be replaced soon. $3500.00 is a reasonable price. Have your brother take a look at them.
PM me for contact info.

Not sure about offset, I can try to find out. If they're going on a W211, these were custom made for my car and will be a perfect fit.
Let me shoot an email to VIP Modular and see what I can find out. Each set they make is custom made for that particular car so it's guaranteed to be perfect.

Hi, i am still waiting for the ET but 99% think it should be OK. However, after a trip to a local dealership and also a trip to local Discount Tire store and also my own research, I end up having a little set back with TPMS caused those vertical valve stem won't have enough tire side wall height such as 30,35 ,TPMS sensors will be crushed in that vertical installed.The solution is either have dealer disable system (which very hard to make them do it even paying them) or having a tire guy to drill another hole for a diff valve stem with tpms installed (some people had done this b4 and end up having 2 valve stem which is ok with me) I will end up paying another 1000.$(may be more than that) to have the whole thing set up. If you consider to lower your price , please PM and we can talk.Thanks

I do believe that you can use the hole that the valve stem is currently using as the TPMS ingress. Then you just use one of the 3 piece bolts for the valve stem hole. Give VIP a call, I believe that's standard procedure for cars with TPMS. I was told something like that when I purchased them. It might be worth a call to them.
