Looking for some new rims for my C300, any ideas? Was thinking about some BBS rims but they are kinda pricey. Like these,

Anybody else got ideas? Pictures?

As FrankW said, Carlsson FTMFW
They are Carlsson 1/14.

I am thinking about these...
I have always been a fan of the simple 5 spoke design...not to mention these seem well made(high pressure cast) and cheap $525 for 18". Also looking at Mandrus which seem to be well made and resonable as well.

damn those are some expensive rims but they look real nice!

kevinwithdabenz

yeah that price is canadian dollars or whatever the currency they have. i have to find out the USD price, but the place im going to if they can get it for me theyll gime a hook up because my brother is cool with them.

its not what you know its who you know.

TB5...

i believe that price is the GBP £
if you're in the states... it would be $2714 USD

apparently you took that "it's not what you know" too seriously...

lol

anybody got the mercedes 18" pulaha's? I think they look really good, not sure if I'm going to switch out my AMG's for them.... a comparison shot would be helpful.

The Pulaha is one of my least favorite MB wheels...don't like how the spokes slightly spread towards the outside.

TB5...

these?? meh

cvkatigbak

these are sick..

saw it at the autoshow TAS2009... looks really good, unique, and aggressive

i think they fit the car perfectly... they have the in-your-face bling-ish thing going on, which is exactly what the car is like... a lot of presence

Running 19" OZs (see sig). Really light weight.

MBXU

I really like those OZs. Where did you buy yours at? Price?

I favor the rims with thin spokes and I like what I see in those OZs

FrankW

i love those 1/14's, but every damn Carlsson wheels now are all at least 19".

can I have'em ???

maverickvii

I picked them up off of Tirerack. They're only $399. Just beware of potholes with the 19", they're shot-peened but still not up to forged-rigidity.

i think i saw you on sunday at richmond center parking lot, i was in the white e90 beside you.
if that was u, your car looks damn hot!

Onizuka

Thanks!
I think 19" fits perfectly on the car since there's a lot of spokes and it's a pain in the *** to wash them.

NO you can't have'em hahaha

Onizuka

Thank you
Was thinking of getting the CL63 rep or the other one with big fat lip in the beginning, but I want something that's more unique

Onizuka

Yes that was me, my grandma lives in that apartment. I noticed you were looking at me lol and your e90 looks hot
Was that your gf beside u?

My rims:

Mandrus Millenium with white painted center (Calcite white) 8,5*19 front, 9,5*19 rear

I really love BBS wheels and had a set on my previous car.
Unfortunately they are very expensive and because they are very lightweight, they are not very forgiving on potholes (unless you go with the even more expensive forged wheels).

I still love the classic cross spoke/mesh look of the BBS. It doesn't scream at you and it just looks really timeless and sharp.

I have a set of BMW CSL replicas:


Mercedes has a new flattened split spoke design wheel for some of their 2009 and 2010 models. I've seen it on a SLK and it looks really nice:

Audi strangely has a similar wheel design for the 2009 S6 and S8.

actually the rims i was lookin at would actually be closer to $2Gs but sure. still who i know for me.
