I'm going to replace my stock wheels with something bigger, around 17" or 18". What wheels do you all think I should get for my car? I like the amg 5-spokes, amg monoblock ii's, lorinser lm5 replicas, and those stock slk wheels in the sport package, I dont have a pic of them, but I know someone here does







AMG 5-Spokes




AMG Monoblock II's




Lorinser LM5 Replicas




OEM SLK Sport Wheels

lufamily

mic280

DougandhisC280

I like the monoblocks and these....

Rincewind

what ar ethose called?

I think the LM5's look a lil better

but i have it narrowed it down to monoblocks or lm5's

soldsep

Everyone knows the monoblocks will look good, because we have seen many W202's with monoblocks. So if you get the monoblocks then they will look good. But if you get the LM5's makes your car a little different. So its up to you. You can be daring and get the LM5's or just know you wan tto look good and get the mono's.

timecop369

I agree... get LM5's! You've seen monoblock IIs on many w202, and you saw mine w/ SLKs (page 10 of the picture thread). Be BOLD, be different- just don't fix it up like a HONDA!

hehe agree with time cop. The RS limited wheels are made by ADR. I learned that today from Tp. lol I never knoew RS limited and ADR was the same thing.

DougandhisC280

I'm trying to decide if I want those ADR's or not. There is a guy that lives next to me with a Lexus GS400 with those in 20" and it looks really good. Do you all think it will be kind of thugish?

Rincewind

I like the way how they look too doug, but I also came to taht conclusion, kinda looks gangsta thuggish ~

im gonna go with some amg monoblkcs

soldsep

I think it looks pimpizie lol. Good choice mono's its a safe choice. You can always change later.

DougandhisC280

Yeah, I guess. I found some 18 by 8.5 monoblocks that I like. Too bad they are too wide. I do kind of want AMG wheels so it will match the AMG kit. Right now my car is just all mixed and matched. I guess I'll keep looking. Oh yeah, about tires, again, Have any of you tried Goodyear F1 GS-D3? They seem to be a really sharp tire. They just came out too.

Rincewind

what amg kit doug? and i thought you had carlson rims, you replacing them???

1SICKLEX

AMG monoblocks look perfect on a Benz

DougandhisC280

Carlsson Springs. Mille Miglia Rims, soon to have AMG kit.

Rincewind

oh yea

carlson springs thats right

hmm how much u paying for amg kit?

u should get wald kit, it looks so dope 0_o

DougandhisC280

I want it all to match. I'm getting the AMG kit for $550 shipped to my door. It's made in India. I just hope it fits as good as the guy promises. I'd get wald but they don't make wheels or anything do they? How much is one of their kits? What does it look like? Is that what MBKid has?

soldsep

Before you ask quesitons please try and do a little research. www.waldusa.com

tpliquid

fake kits always cheap quality and never will fit right if u want to do strait bolt on.

henry47

tp is correct. body kit "styles" do not properly fit and will always require modification to fit correctly. Quality is not always as great either

soldsep

werd up

DougandhisC280

Sometimes I'm too lazy to search. Thanks for the website though. I don't plan on the kit bolting straight on. I have allready expected the worse. I'll let you know how it is once I get it. (Hopefully by the end of June)

So when you say "werd up" does that mean you agree?

DougandhisC280

Wald's wheel look like they belong on a Chevy Silverado or something. The only one I like is the D13. It kind of looks like Carlsson. I do like their kits though.

soldsep

Wald wheels are nice. "Werd Up" = agree.

Too lazy to type few words in the search field?
