2006 E55 AMG --old cars -- E39 M5, 2.7tt Audi S4, E36 M3 **Ducati 996, 748
interested -- any details about the wheels -- additional pics

I think its odd the tires are so tall -- 45 & 40 series??? are you sure its not 40 & 35

I dont want any surprises -- esp if i drive to Irvine from Vegas

How much do the wheels weigh? I am sure the seller knows this from when he was researching the orginal purchase.

i guess its not going to work --- those are probably not strong enough for an E55 -- and I heard OEM bolts dont work -- i dont feel like spending alot of extra money on bolts -- and still no pics?

wheels are more than strong enough for your ride. as for bolts oem only work with oem wheels. cone vs ball. all aftermarket wheels use different bolts

Of all of the aftermarket wheels I have placed on my cars, seldom can I reuse OEM bolts. Also, wheels are 1500lbs each if memory serves. Where as I bent my iforged expensive wheels (though 20s) 7 times in three months, I have yet to bend these even through deeper pot holes (19's). FYI

EDIT: someone reminded me there are two versions of this wheel. Early version is 1240lbs, later 1500+ lbs. I recall seeing it stamped on the back of my F14s so pics are a must.

ok - So - OEM is supposed to be 30 & 39... these wheels are 32 & 36. numbers seem pretty close -- So, how much difference is this going to be? Rears will be more aggressive by sticking out how much??? And the fronts will be a tad tamer? What are we talking here a few mm or an inch?

Dammit tai....

If you told me you were in the bay I would've picked up your Forgestars by now rather than pick up new tires for my stock rims... bleh

1" = 25.4mm

Please do the math. And don't forget to modify based on wheel and tire width. There are numerous offset/wheel/tire width calculators posted on MBWorld as well as the web.
