BBS RS-GT

So I picked up a set of BBS RS-GT rims from member Rareamg. I think they look fantastic on my silver W210. Just want to share with you all since I haven't take any good pictures of my ride for a long time.

Thumbs down Swing and a miss

I hate to be honest, but I am not a fan at all. I don't see why you would put tacky rims on an E Class. It is a mercedes benz and personally, unless they were another MB OEM/replica wheel, or a nonbranded and very discreet rim, I would never do it. Happy that everyone seems to like what you did but personally I do not like. You're not driving a honda civic and you bet, if I drove past you I would give you the some raised eyebrows and a smirk.
Just my $0.02

IMO, On a MERCEDES, YES! I don't care how much money you spend on them, it still makes ruins the car. Not a fan of the big 'BBS' logo on every wheel..

Correct! And reps = AMG Replicas, older benz replicas (hammer, 190E 16v)

Not a big fan of the wheels, or the use of spacers. A set of Special Edition wheels would look nicer. JMHO.

WOW! interesting opinions and everyone is entitled. So here's mine:
I really like it. I'm coming from 15+ years of Bimmer ownership w/ a little Audi and Land Rover mixed in there. I like my W210, but its not sporty enough out of the box. You have added IMO the perfect mix of sport w/o compromising the classy lines.

Very well executed and I hope I am able to have the same success with mine

Haters are going to hate. I am not posting this to please everyone. Glad someone hates them. If everyone likes them then everyone would have them and it will be as common as CIVICs in every corner.

Have fun cracking and bending replicas on the road.

People who think the stocks look good just help make your car look that much better.

A pic of the wheels on my 01 E320. Nothing special, but not stock. They are MB Mirac 5 Star wheels that were not available on US cars. Sorry for the pic of dirty wheel, and car.
