The wheels themselves are nice. But I am not a big fan of the wwhole look. The wheels look too small and the car is up too high. 20s and slammed are the way to go with those wheels.

hey sam, are these wheels supposed to have some concavity to them. i know the e coupe has real high offsets which doesn't bode well for concave rims. can you pm me the offsets for these wheels and if you used any spacers? and the price of these wheels in 20". thanks man.

This is what I wanted the car to end up looking like. There is always the next one.

As for the concavity, its more visable in person, but yes, offset and wheel width are big factors. I have not been able to take any pics of concaved wheels, that have done a good job of showing the concaved profile yet.

I agree with this photoshoped one better. For sure it needs to be in 20's and a little lower.

the E550s have airmatic on all four corners, the E350s have spring/shocks, and the E63 is a combination of both. Springs/shocks in the front, and air bags in the rear. don't know why MB decided to go that route with the E63

I could be wrong, but based on my bad memory, I remember seeing a spring/shock on the front of this car. Maybe the coupes are also running different suspension setups then the sedans.
