Frank --- looks hot!

I almost went with those for my E55. A very good looking wheel. Nicely done!

I'm going to take a different stance on these wheels. I think the new wheels look great, for a distinct style or look. Your Carlssons also looked great though, for a completely differnent look and style. New wheels look more raw, in-your-face and sporty. The old looked more sophisticated and understated. Which one looks better depends on the feel you are looking for.

Oh BTW Frank, did you lower the car some more and do you have more suspension clearance now with the new wheels?

The charcoal finish looks especially good with the red calipers!

So Frank, it looks like it's time to update your signature again.

Frank, I don't mean to be a *****, but I love these wheels a LOT more than your old ones.

Not to say your old ones didn't look good, they looked great. It's just these rims look oh so much better.

I'm gonna have to disagree here. I really like the Carlsson wheels a lot more then these. Especially since you have the Carlsson body kit it looked like a real Calrsson car. Switch back!

I like the Carlsson's too.. I actually would like to buy them if I had some extra cash.. You can probably tell why I like them based on my current wheels.. 16 spoke SLK AMG wheels..
