WTB: OEM E55 AMG Wheels TwinSpoke
I am looking for a Staggered set of AMG twinspoke wheels, size:
18x8 ET30
18x9 ET39
I would also consider other styles of AMG wheels, NO Chrome. Must be 18x8 / 18x9 minimum.
I have the cash and its burning a hole in my pocket.

i got E63 rims -- stock but powdercoated black with some chips -- tires are still good - Pirella upfront and bridgestones in the rear.

the wheels are still on the car and i hadnt thought of selling them until i saw this post. So, i dont have close ups of the wheels.... They are stock -- 245/35/18 & 275/35/18. With the chips i would say there are a few options... bead blast them back to silver, repowdercoat them, repaint them or just touch them up with black paint. My friend suggested the latter and I will be trying that soon.
Let me know if your still interested and i will take some close up pics... I just want to be upfront with you and give you no surprises about the wheels... otherwise the wheels are perfect... no wobbles or bends. I have gone +180mph.

you are correct-- the tire size is not stock but that has nothing to do with the stock wheels -- Actually the fronts might be a 40 series tire..
Anyhow, the tires are still good and are fitted on stock E63 wheels which are 18's.

I've got stock 18x8 and 18x9 set with BFgoodrich KDW tires. Still lots of tread left. I've got a 5th 18x8 with tire on it too. Looking to get them out of my garage. Send me a realistic offer and they are all yours. Tire sizes are 245 and 265.

well - i think we assumed you knew the size of the OEm wheels since you are trying to buy them -- stock is stock -- whatever that is -- I think its 8 & 9 inch widths.
NO tires can be done -- I touched up the wheels chips -- it was amazingly easy and effective.

IRRC E63 wheels are different than E55 wheels: discussion link. Usually a wider wheel is accompanied by a different offset. I believe that in the case of AMGs it widens the track a bit for enhanced response compared to the normal model setup. For example on the W211; normal 8" ET38, AMG 8" ET30. Thats 5/8" wider, total, in the front for enhanced steering response. HTH

No offense but the best way to be sure of the exact size is to read it from the wheel. There are many "stock" AMG wheels even for the same model they can change part way through a production run. So one more time, I need the exact size and off-set a pic of the inside of the wheel would be preferred. Without this info I'll be looking else where.
