Thinking of selling my wheels, and need ideas...

Well I am thinking of selling my Fikse's and getting something else. I'm thinking the car needs a monoblock type wheel.....

Gone but not forgotten C36

+1 you never go wrong with monoblocks!

They are 18x8 ET28. I had them made for my 71 280SE 4.5. they work great on the W202. The rears really need a 10mm spacer, but my car is a bit low for that without stretching the rear fenders.

They would make for a great set of track wheels if the rears were an inch wider. I bet they are really light.

They would. I stopped by Fikse the other day and found out that it would be $260/ea to widen them....new inner halfs.

Nope, they are just to the fender lip. I did have to roll the very bottom of the fender lip to accomodate the tire, and trim the inside edge of the rear bumper as well.

It rubs in the fron ever so slightly on the inner fender, but not too bad.

I could possibly be open to trades....Whatcha' got?

I thought your rear wheels looked a little skinny.

I like em, but prolly wouldt use that color on silver.
