Default MERCEDES BENZ E55 featuring AUTO-COUTURE MAGNIFIQUE

Hey guys, we have been featuring alot of iFORGED and ZONE vehicles lately, however we are going to be giving the AUTO-COUTURE brand focused support and promotional consideration in 2006. I personally think the brand has the oppurtunity to truly make an impact and support our core client base (premium luxury - Lexus, MB, BMW, Infiniti, etc).

Anyways, we received these pics from AUTO-COUTURE, as we support and market forged multipiece wheels. In the coming months, be prepared to witness AUTO-COUTURE establish a presence in the 3pc forged arena.

I really think this wheel is perfect for Lexus vehicles, it looks nice on the MB, but imagine these babies on a second gen GS

Almost forgot the best part 5-10 day lead time on popular applications!!

Couldn't agree more. Although I'm a big fan of dish-faced wheels, the E55 deserves something more sporty. With that being said, the wheels alone are hawtness!

Ah one of my alltime favorite wheels on the market. D, remember when I almost bought these wheels man they are hot. Well you never know what can happen from now till spring. I will keep this on the back burner for thought.

You would be surprised, with the forged wheels, and about 42psi in the tires you can hit a pothole with the best of them. I have hit some holes and craters in NYC that would make Baby Jesus cry with no issues.

Forged wheels really help with the low profile setups.

Now that's HARD!!! I would have opted for 19"s but it still looks nice

Man! The Magnafiques have always been one of my fave wheels, nice to see it on such a classy car....
