Thanks alot fellas, now what set up do you guys think he has. I want that same set up. I know he has a kit and the car is lowered, but what size do you think he is running? 18 or 19 and at what lip size. would 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 in the back look good? My problem is that I don't want to drop the car. I'm not really into that stuff. I mean it looks great, but my car is a lease and I just don't feel like messing with that. So I think going with 18's would be fine without a drop, if the tires are low profile enough. what do you think 18 or 19's that he's got on?

I think i know the owner of the car. He has rieger kit, the wheels are 19 inches, i think he has an low offset, he need to roll the fender. Do you want something fresh?? Try this wheel, look a lot like Kleeman, cost about the same as the Linea.

Wow that is a hot rim!!!!!!! do you think that would fit the w203? without rolling fenders or spacers? Also what size do you think would be good? Would 18's without a drop work? Thanks for the idea man..............it's great. I've always loved the kleeman's, but very pricey and those wheels in chrome look hot.

I'm sure they produced numerous size to fit, i personally like 19 but since u don't want to roll anything, 18 would work too. Not sure how it look without a drop, since the SS is slightly lowered, i think it'll look good

Dude you are the man
Now one more question, what do you think about the lorinser RS1? Kinda simple I know, but it's a classic. Would you go with any of the above or the lorinser rs1 which has name and quality for the same price? I have a hook-up for those lorinsers around the same prices as all of these rims we've been discussing.

http://www.lorinser.com/produkte/car...hp?id=1&lang=e

Also about those Club Linea's and even those KRANZE rims, would the offset fit my car in 18's 05 ss and more importantly will it clear the brake caliper in the front?

Or should I just save up and get these forged wheels?

BTW in case you have not noticed, I love full faced rims with a big lip.
other examples Maya DTR and Lownehart LDR. However, all these multi-piece wheels cost a fortune!!!!

I just realised u have big brake up front, nowadays u can opt for 'high' dish big caliper clearance, so it shouldn't be a problem. Lorinser are always nice, i like the older style better then the newer one. I actually like the LM-1 better than the RS-1, more full dish .
If i were u and wanting to go 18 and cannot wait, i'll go with the lorinser, those jap wheels need to be 19 to do justice . Even better save up and get some forged.
Good luck with the choice and post picture

****! I can't believe they got a replica already, and it even says patented on the Kleeman wheels. Kranze even got the nicer lip. So much for being unique and I just got mine put on two days ago....

Caliboy,

I still like the top one (Linea Barletta). It looks really good as a full dish wheel and on the 05 I think it would look pretty good even though we have a little gap too show.

Probably should get some low brake dust pads while your at it so you don't have to wash them all the time like myself. Everytime I go out, theres so much brake dust on my stock wheels when I get home.

Here are the sizes it comes in:

SIZE:
18X7.55-112/11438SMF
18X7.55-112/11443SMF
18X8 5-112/114.3 32
18X8 5-112/114.3 38
18X8 5-112/114.3 43
18X8.5 5-112/114. 32
18X8.5 5-112/114. 38
18X8.5 5-112/114. 43
18X9 5-112/114.3 38
18X9 5-112/114.3 43
18X9.55-112/11432SMF
18X9.55-112/11443SMF
19X7.55-112/11443SMF
19X8.55-112/11432SMF
19X8.55-112/11438SMF
19X8.55-112/11443SMF
19X9.55-112/11432SMF
19X9.55-112/11438SMF
19X9.55-112/11443SMF

Hey razor thanks alot for your input, the more i look around at suggestions, the more I keep coming back to the Linea Now what size do you recommend in 18 to have the biggest possible lip in front and back without any issues.

Hey ricky, how much can you get them for? And also one obvious question, will that particular rim berlinetta clear the 05 brake caliper without spacers and stuff like that because I hear the guy up top had to roll his fenders to fit 19's so would I have a problem with 18's and fitment to clear caliper?
