SL Sport Package Turbine Wheels on a w203 sedan?

I really like the Lorinser LM6's, but they're pretty expensive and only come in 19's. I'm worried that I won't be able to get a replica set that are good quality like Franks.

I was just kicking around the idea of putting the 18' wheels that come on the new SL sport package on my C230k. I don't think I'll do it until mid-next year, but do you guys have any opinions? pics? want to photoshop it?

Also, I don't even know if they'll fit. I have no clue as to offset and spacers and stuff like that...

Here's a pic of the wheel thanks to StephenK in the SL forum... http://www.sevenhillsrealty.com/2005%20SL600%20005.jpg

Thanks.

I'm with you, I want the same LM6 replicas, staggered 19s, yet the replicas I can find aren't great quality, and are slightly different, just enough for me not to be interested.

If you find good quality LM6 19" replicas send me a PM, thanks!

I have checked, they will not fit. The ones I saw were chrome on a SL55

On the SL55? Hopefully you're mistaken, b/c I'm not talking about the "turbine" AMG's on the SL55 but rather the "turbine look" on the SL sport package offered on the SL500 and SL600.

Thanks.

I think the turbine look in general is pretty ugly.. That LM6 is even uglier.

that's my personal opinion though

hope you find what you're looking for!
