Pics of the E55 and question about what wheels to get

[The Godfather]

Here is a non photoshopped pic. I'm rolling on my dad's 19" wheels since I just sold the stock 18" AMG wheels that came with it. I'm looking at getting new wheels but I haven't placed the order yet.

So far the mods are the debadging, and the clear sidemarkers in the front (which are tacky, and will be painted black like the car). I still have to remove that AMG license plate frame. It doesn't get anymore tacky than that lol.

Friday I'm getting the car lowered and tint put on. HEre's what it should look like then:

Now, I'm looking at these wheels, but I don't know if I Should go black or just brushed alu. EVentually I'll have silver AMG big brake kit, so w/ the black it would be a nice contrast... I dunno though...your opinion?

here are the same wheels on my old car. The side of the wheels look more realistic on there.

There is nothing nicer than black on black with a polished lip. Seriously.

[dave00]

i say yes to the black wheels, i think black on black looks pimp

[H00T]

Get black...it looks unique and clean.

[Unknown]

Black on Black
thats some real pimp shit!!!!!!!!

[slimBoost]

black w/ chrome lip is teh sex!!

[User Name]

black, but the 19's that are on the car look nice

[kruthers]

I like the black on black look

[AnGeLeIgH]

Sorry, not feeling the black wheels even a little bit. They are blahhh and make the wheels look smaller.

[Fun Boy]

black wheels all the way to the bank !

[empire]

Nice rotor clock by the way, Mike :thumbs:

[Ryan]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it is a wrong opinion like AnGeLeIgH's, but I like the black with polished lip.

[AnGeLeIgH]

My opinion is never wrong. I have impeccable taste and I am always right.

[tdc]

Black centers w/polished lip is TEH HOTNESS.

The photoshops don't really do it justice since it looks like they kept the opacity of the layer pretty light.

[Ryan]

My opinion is never wrong. I have impeccable taste and I am always right.

[Tonk]

Once you go black, you never go back

[Ryan]

Blacka' is betta'.

[Vader13]

Why debage the E55 AMG????? Now you look like a guy with a E320 debaging it becuase it's not an E55..
I like Silver Wheels Black Car......

wtf, is this Sean or Andrea? You said the same exact two things Andrea said to me LMAO!

As for the badge, yeah I agree that in OC or somewhere like that, it'd be nice to "announce" What's up to the rest of the peeps since they are all rich and all that, but in SLO town, bettah keep a low profile, too many haters. PLus it's fun to be a sleeper and fuck w/ poor people :D

As for the rims, I think I'll go silver...

[LokisGTI]

Black on black looks better then me on my gf

[chunky]

black with a chrope lip makes my penis tingle

'Cause we have Mercedes and know what's really good. :yourock: Sean!

[MBAMGPWR]

I say a brushed or polished aluminum by HRE! I'm sure you've seen these pics already at MBWorld but others might have not. I just put my 19" HRE 841R's on the car over the weekend. Man does it make the car 100x better in looks & handling! If you're gonna do HRE's, I would go with the 540R or the C20 Competition (besides the 841R's, of course).

[1080ME]

I would go with black with a polished lip, only to show off the BBK when you get it. If not black, deff some highly polished HRE's ... either way it's gonna look good!

[Level]

keep it black on black

[dDooDle]

lowenharts new LSR's look pretty coo to me...and i dont know of anyone else that has them yet.

they have a black/ chrome finish too. not that i would pick that style.... especially with a black car but they would still be nice for someone.

[The Godfather]

What about those wheels, w/ that finish? If I get black, i would be that flat black anyway. I like those wheels because of the hidden hardware, it looks nicer than with the bolts showing and is easier to clean. As a bonus, I think it makes the wheel look as big as they actually are.

http://teamhybrid.com/e55/new%20car%20pics%20008%20(Small).jpg

I will have the same brakes that this car has, so I think it'd be nice to show that off too :D

[1080ME]

Those wheels with those brakes are drop dead sexy!

[AnGeLeIgH]

I'm not opening your threads anymore. That's fugly.

[Vader13]

WORD!

And Balck on Black for a E55 is way too ricey....

Silver wheels, with the E55 AMG badge...you are the mack of SLO.....

If the poor people don't like it, run them down, or have them arrested for being a hater cowboy..

[Tonk]

It would be interesting to see the results of this poll in a Mercedes forum.

Is there a particular reason that person painted their Mercedes Benz a volkswagen blue? :lol: Looks like a Jetta with a ricey kit :crazy: Not that there is anything wrong with a Jetta :p

:stickpoke wrong poll. This thread is about the wheels. The one you sent me is about debadging. Thanks for trying though!

[M34ever]

put the badge back on and go with the silver rims. If anything dont do flat black but more of a anthracite color.

[The Godfather]

[M34ever]

sorry godfather....she made me do it!!!

[Casse]

black on black nothing else is sleeker...

[Kaiyin]

DAMN!!! That car is hot! Too bad I've been out of the loop for awhile, but when did you pick that up? Definately black on black (What can I say, I've got the same setup on my R, I'm biased :D). That thing is sweet man.

[chunky]

do silver on 1 side and black on the other, best of both worlds.:dunno:

[BlackC55AMG]

why do people like black wheels so much? silver wheels, polished lip, on a black benz thats dropped is sooooooo much more classy.

[Tonk]

why do people like black wheels so much?

It's stealth, it's clean, and people have personal opinions.

[Ryan]

It transforms a car from, "Look, I'm a nice car" to, "Don't mess with me, I'm badass".

[UnlucKy E34]

Black with that Wald body...so goregous.

[dave00]

ok i think that's because we have a bettle tryin to be a GT3, doesn't quite work the same

[micah]

true

i voted to get the black wheels for sure

[SMG]

If the black was polished I think it would look better then the flat black.

[Ferrarislave]

Polished 545R's I think or 547's I love them both to death.

[BMW_Aproved]

go the car its so mad!!! put some black ones on

[Dubmada]

black deep dishes are die sheisse

[///M cubed]

My opinion is never wrong. I have impeccable taste and I am always right.
Impreccable taste? Have a look at your signature.

[kdownes83]

it dont get no betta than black on black. especially on a car like that. ive seen a black 4 door lexus ... gs400 maybe (debadged) with black on black. it looks hot.

[55fanatic]

It transforms a car from, "Look, I'm a nice car" to, "Don't mess with me, I'm badass".
gonna have to agree here, it gives the classy mercedes some attitude that no one is ready for and then the debadging just leaves them open for the kill

[NOLUQ]

Black with polished lip all the way! :thumbs: soooo hott.

[AnGeLeIgH]

People are still talking about the wheels and the debadging. He bought rims months ago and the car was debadged and rebadged at the same time. Case closed :D

Like the Princess said. :love4::) Pics will come when the car is repaired , the wheels are put on, and yeah ok that's it.

[Stiggs]

Is this your second or third mercedes?
Why is there a silver car in your sig?

:wtf2:

[The Godfather]

Third benz. Sig is pretty, that's why there are cars i dont own in there. lol

[CLKcadet]

the black is very hot but the silver really hits you, either way you cant go wrong but again it is a photoshop im sure both would look great in real life but stick with the black theme imho

[Stiggs]

So Doc.....did you already crack up the AMG?
Damn you go through cars fast! :hahano:
What's the new one? Is it another AMG?

[ADHD-Denali]

Black on balck.

[SpunkyMcjohnson]

black on black looks damn good
