Wheel question
 
I am thinking to get the 18" lorinser LM5 Wheel.. now I find one on ebay selling the Lorinser LM5 "style" wheel.. which is not the original but it look the same too me and the person said it is the same from the original! I was wondering if anyone know whats the diff between the Original Wheel and the none original?.. does it weights more or?... :confused:

Help for you
 
Two fellows on the C32 board www.mercedesbenzang.com have the LM5 wheels in 18" on their C32's.

amgme has the "real" ones
irvinec32 has the ebay ones.

Ask them for help.

Lorinser and the other tuners don't make their own wheels. They contract production to a big wheel manufacturer such as Ronal. The only difference is the Lorinser name and price is not on the other wheel.

I think that the LM5 wheels will look great on your car.

It's true about many tuner parts, find the source and save big (pulleys, wheel, air filters, exhausts, etc.). I like the look better when it doesn't have the tuners name on it.
