here's mine! i originally ordered 1/6evos after ppl in the forum told me to do so in April 2002, however, by accident, the importer got 1/5s instead.........i was so desperate to have new rims and didnt want to wait another 2weeks....so i gambled with the 1/5s. Until now, i dunno how 1/6 evos actually look like in person. hehehe....i guess both look great....but "plate" type wheels seem out of fashion with newer benzes, as evidenced with newer amgs..IMO.

The 1/5 and 1/6 are having a "closeout sale" at Tirerack. I think they will not carry Carlsson products anymore, changing dealership? Anyone knows anything about it?

Yep that car is definitely own by Elite team and from Melbourne Australia. I personally like 1/6 it will give you that classic look and of course in 19 inch

why do people on this forum have such a tough time making decisions for themselves? every day i see posts like this asking everybody what to get. make your own decisions people! comments and opinions are one thing, but asking other people to make a decision for you is prob the best way to end up with something you dont like in the long run. what matters is how it looks to you! i couldnt imagine taking weeks or months making a decision on rims.. takes me 5 mins, esp between only 2 pairs of rims! give me a breeeaakk lol

hokusbenz,

if i were living in the U.S., Hongkong, Singapore or even in Manila, i wouldnt ask about that stuff in this forum...as i can easily go to a wheel dealer and see it for myself.

but i live in the province, and im the only C Class (the newest benz also since 2001) in my city..... so i always have the faintest idea of what it might look like in person.

imagine, i decided on my wheels by lookin only at the carlsson website and tirerack's.
