OH I TOTALLY AGREE......... but everyones e class  :ywho wants AMG's have these..... so i wanted it to be MY car not "another e class" so went for 2nd best choice in my mind... i could of sourced some 19" AMG's from USA but once again car wouldn't of looked different to warrent to extra money spent.......

I like the wheels as they are FACE LIFT E55 wheels Genuine mercedes i might add!!!!!!!!!  :)
