14 E63S: forged wheel search
Re: 14 E63S: forged wheel search
It's more aggressive and interesting. The factory S model wheels are more reserved and classy I suppose. More specifically, from the side angle like this, I do prefer the forged wheel. However, from an oblique angle, the original 10 spoke looks, like I said before, a little higher end and more sophisticated (but almost a little plain and boring). It's a bit more of a luxury car wheel style compared to the twin 5 spoke which is more sporty. Overall I prefer the forged wheel.

The dealer had the display of center caps. They do have a darker one that could match my rear wheels better. It is supposed to have some black plastic lug bolt cover but I deemed them pricey and maybe prefer it with the simple, circular center cap anyway.
Keep in mind the left and right wheels were refinished by different outfits so they don't even fully match.....sigh.
The second from the right actually looks like a different style. So maybe it's deal with what I have or get the black type. I'll try to add that here.

I'll move the other post here, but this is where I had previously documented the center cap stuff.

Looks like the center is the same lighter gray that I have now. Just a matter of black glossy plastic covering the lug bolts. Meh, I don't think that's worth what they cost. I could always refresh the center caps if they are missing teeth or look tarnished from miles. This was the conclusion I came to last time anyway. Also I really need to track down two front forged wheels but they just don't exist.
