Come on, i hate the stock wheels, they look like mustang's, what i would really want are the ones from the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, does someone knows where can i find replica wheels like that or other similar???

The Velocity guys are claiming it's a photoshop after the E46 members complained about the spoke design. I'm going to try and stop by JLevi SW this weekend and check out the V715's in person in their showroom.

Blake,

I feel for you in having too coordinate the purchase.

I'm beginning to tetter to the fence post. Reason being, I currently need to buy a set of tires for my Coupe. I'm going to drive them longer than I should hoping that we get the wheels in, but I can't help but wonder if they will make them.

I'm in right now, but I would say that if we have no definitive ship date in four weeks, I'm going to have to drop out.

I hope you guys don't get pissed, but hopefully Velocity will decide it is worth there time to get these wheels going.

E

I'm right there with you, Ed. I'll probably be in need of new tires in the next couple months and am hoping I can hold off until the wheels arrive.

hard to tell from that photo if it's photoshopped or not. but based on the design from that pic it can be a problem fitting them on our car even with the most aggressive offset allowed which is ET27.

We shall see. I'm remaining cautiously optomistic.

i think is PS'd. contrast on wheels is way brighter then contrast on car. photo bits look shot by two diff cameras. but thats just what i think.

If those are how the wheels are gonna look on that 3 series, i dunno if i honestly like them that much, the center is too dented in for me, nice polished lips, but rear is def. not as big as they can go for a custom app. if i bought those id prolly custom paint them black or gold, jus to wow them up a bit.

The production version will have a 2.5" lip in the rear. That image of the bimmer is not real. @ Phil for trying to start a damn riot.

I am guessing no. You need wheels with a 5x112 bolt pattern and offset of about 32-35mm for the W203's. Correct me if I am wrong, guys. I am new to the Benz world.

Not sure, but it's a Benz, I would spend a little more and put on a nicer pair.

If you take a look on ebay there are some nice rims for Mercedes, or find a local dealer who will sell them. www.kijiji.com as well.

Just search on ebay for Mercedes rims. I had some links of sellers on ebay if I can find them I will post.
