Pics of the new shoes! Bling Bling!

I put on the new wheels yesterday. I ended up getting 19x8.5 19x10 Carlsson 1/16 UL's. I am finally a member of the 19x10 club! Tires are ContiSport2 235/35/19 +30 offset in the front and 255/35/19 +35 offset in the rear. They are lighter and larger than my previous 18" Brabus mono V's and I never got a chance to slap on my OG Black Brabus III's. I am very impressed with these wheels they are high polished inside and out. From what I research on these they one off the lightest and strongest 19's forged by APP. They have a luxurious design and look like they would weigh in like bricks. Got the best of both worlds a show quality wheel with the weight and strength of a race wheel. My wheel and tire combo weighes only weighs about 45 lbs. Hats off to Mr. Carlsson for taking no shortcuts here. The wheels really gleam at night, My only complaints are that they kinda look like some chromed out Assantis while rolling and the lips aren't as large a some custom HRE's. I know my car is begging for me to put in the KW coilovers now. Well here the pics of my C230 in 4x4 mode.

nice, congrats on the new shoes

Normally, I don't appreciate chrome wheels (my personal taste), and I usually prefer the normal "aluminum painted" wheels (like the stock ones).

However, there's an exception to every rule, and your car is one of the very few exceptions.

Very nice wheels and very nice car.

Very Nice! It's time to slam that 4x4 mode.

kw's, bilstein's, or tein. Whichever you choose, just do it soon, Mike!...LOL.

Congrats no the carlsson's. I like how those look better than the Mono V's (but I'm not convinced on the chrome).

They are not chrome guys. They a high polished to a mirror shine. It would be pointless for Carlsson to chrome a lightweight wheel

. Kinda defeats the purpose.

Lol! If you got 19's and are concerned about weight,

.

I do like those rims alot, though. Look very good.
