WOW. These are my all time favorite wheels except for their non staggered specs. How did you have these rebuilt? I know they are two piece, so did you have to have all new barrel/lip combos built for them? Cost of this?

looks great lepez!! I'm european, so I love to see the side markers lol..
just dont like the rear fitment, they need spacers, but if they were wide at rear, would look awesome.
pww I also love the wheels, but they are oem 8,5 all round, and that I didnt like. So, in Portugal there are companys that are able to "extrude" aluminium wheels, so, that was my option...there are no wider barrels on market...... I remember that this are barrel and lip + center... not barrel + lip...
what I did was extrude the lip 1.25" to the final 9.75". that costs at Portugal about 300€ (including polishing of the lip and paint the centers of the 2 wheels "extruded").

I C class: I know about the sml's, but over here in Europe, they are not standard fitted. I'm not going to tint them, picture does make em brighter than they are... European's like to put US parts on there cars, as like you guys like Euro-parts 
A3_german: yeah, maybe i'll put some spacers on them, but then I need to buy other wheel bolts. and since it's only for the winter... maybe i'll look for some CLS 5spoke wheels for next winter ...

I'm with lepez on these, they are a non-euro option, and i too would like them funny enough, generally we should have all gotte together and swapped panels with those accross the pond then we could each get the 'unique/different' look, probably without spaying panels, by swapping with someone with the same coloured car

So outta curiosity, has anyone done a black grill on their silver cars? I was thinking of doing that any maybe dipping the hood vents in black as well, but if anyone has done it already that would be really helpful to look at.
