Feeler: Carlsson 2/5s Brilliant Edition 19x8, 19x9

Trying to get a feeler in terms of interest & price for these wheels as I'm interested in maybe picking up tery's wheels...

They are Carlsson 2/5 in a 19x8 (front) & 19x9 (rear) configuration. Offsets are at +35mm all around. I think these wheels are considered the Brilliant edition?

They fit my CLK PERFECTLY!!! NO spacers needed. Therefore, it should fit C, E (W210), SLK, CLKs without any problems.... Or you can add spacers if needed.

They clear my AMG brakes, and I believe they clear Brembo kits too... not sure tho.

Both front & rear wheels have a 2.5" polished lip... Condition of the wheels are pretty much perfect minus the normal everyday wear of driving... Only 1 wheel (driver side front) has a bit of curb rash, not very deep... 2mm deep? and about less than 1 inch in length... you can only see it up close.

Tires, may or may not be included depending on the offer. Condition are as follows:

Driver Front(Nitto 555): new tire
Pass Front(Yoko AVS Sport): needs to be replaced soon
Rears(Yoko AVS Sport): has about 75% on the inside, and 100% on the outside (camber issues) once you get down to about 45%, you can flip it and use it for much much longer....

Here are some pics on my car...

it has definitely inspired many companies to make 2/5 knock-offs for MBs...

Nice Wheels

Definitely one of the nicest design ever for MB. So nice I had the 1/5 Diamond Edition on my Audi A6 despite its heavy weight.

The extra weight hurts handling/ride/acceleration/braking; but that's the way those older Carlsson designs come, HEAVY. I believe those are anywhere between 32-38lb each.

oh yeah... dis ****z is heavy... like ghetto gangsta style... but, the good thing about heavy is that they are sturdy & strong... lightweight aluminum wheels that aren't forged just ain't worth the money...

you can try polishing it yourself with some aluminum polish

Here are some close-ups of the wheels....

A few close-up shots for review...

As you can see, they are almost perfect.... the third picture (front driver-side) is the only one with a little bit of curb rash, but, you can't even see it in the picture, thats how minimal it is...

yeah, thats my only hesitation... the design is simple & beautiful... and doesn't hide my brakes...

Mbenzer007, tery's wheels are these:
nice on their own, but, not sure if its the ideal look i'm going for on my clk... plus, very expensive...

They will indeed fit a 500e, they will also fit a 500e with Porsche brakes. (tried it on my friend's 500e) With that being said, I wonder how much I could get sell my set for? Only difference is i have 10 inch rear.

Keep your Carlssons Danny - They look absolutely perfect on your ride. Plus - I know you don't like dirty cars..... count how many little fingertip sized nooks and crannies there are on those HRE's where dirt/brake dust will accumulate. Keeping those things clean will be a Bi*ch!!! Trust me, I'm taking my 441R's off and putting my LM5's back on, in part, for that very reason.

But really - IMO your car, with your Carlssons on it, is one of the best looking CLK's on this forum.

thanks buddy... its been hard trying to find something worthy to replace the 2/5s.... not much out there suits the CLK so well...

btw, what do you plan on doing with your 441R's? wanna trade

Jeez. Carlsson 2/5's.
I wish I had a naked Benz that needed rims. I'd take these in a heartbeat, especially from a respected member who takes care of his rims!
