Hey Everyone,
I'm looking to sell my 19" DPE R06 Variants (Rivetless version) with black centers and polished lips. 19x8.5 fronts and 19x10.5 rears. The wheels are two piece wheels and is made for E class/ W211 fitment and also fit on my SL. It'll fit r230/r219 nicely with small spacers to adjust based on your preference. Wheels are in good condition, 1 front tire needs to be replaced, 245/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 rears with about 60-70% thread left. I'll get an estimate on the offsets when the wheels are off. brand new DPE black center caps also included.
Asking for $1400 OBO. Located in socal and will ship if I don't have Any local buyers. Call/text me anytime at 626-347-9958 or PM me. Thanks!
Posting offsets will make these easier to sell, and the ruler isn't precise enough. Can you read the stuff that is stamped on both the front and rear wheels? You show it in only one of the pictures and it's not fully legible.

Nice wheels. I'm interested but I'd like to know the offsets to make sure I have no fitment issues.

I wish I knew the offsets... Unfortunately Diabolis is correct, DPE does not publish their offsets and it's not stamped anywhere on the wheels.

For what it's worth - DPEs are quality wheels. They don't have the name recognition that HRE does for example, but are definitely much better than shady and dishonest outfits like ADV1 for example who still manage to sell twice as many wheels because of their marketing presence. At $1100, these are a steal if they are in good shape. You can't even get a set of one-size-fits-many Forgestars (which are actually rotary flow-formed), let alone a set of custom-made wheels with proper T6-6061 center forgings and spun barrels. DPE has been around for a long time and I've never heard of any disasters or rip-off stories. IIRC DPE makes all of the the Vorsteiner wheels if that's any indication.
The offsets are kept secret by DPE - all of their wheels are custom-built for a specific application and they don't disclose the offsets, but they are not far off from what is the "accepted norm" for an aggressive fitment for said specific vehicle. In other words, if they were made for a W211 (an E55 like mine), I would expect the fronts to be around ET30 and the rears around ET35.

Thanks for the great explanation on DPE Wheels Diabolis! Not a lot of people know that's how DPE works.
That being said... Wheels are still for sale everyone! Submit your best offers everyone. I really hate seeing a nice set of wheels in storage!
It's been said before, guys, but DPE IS a quality wheel. Certainly on par with HRE. They've been in the game for some time and they do not build generic wheels. Every set is made to match the car.
OP, I suggest taking better pics of the wheels so people can see the detail of the design. Get some light on the wheel faces because they are black, they get lost in the shadows.

Good suggestion JohnnyRock, I tried to take a few more pictures during the daytime so the natural light can shine on the wheels - it's so hard to get these to look true through pictures, the gloss black paint basically looks somewhat flushed out from the pictures, will be posting them shortly.
More picture with natural daylight. Please excuse all the dust on the wheels. The condition on all the wheel faces are good. Only one wheel has a small nick in the spoke.
