FS: 18x8.5 inch Carlsson 1/5
Testing the waters...
It's been a while since I was on this board. Nice to see it's more popular than ever! I sold my W208 CLK back in 2002 and i've had my Carlsson wheels sitting in storage ever since. I even forgot they were there for a while.
I'll post pics if anyone is interested but i'll wait until I get any PM's since the storage local is off-site. I had some pics here in the CLK picture thread but i think it's been purged. I can no longer find my old car. It use to be here when i posted as TechB. https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...=7460#post7460
Condition: Good to Excellent. The wheels are perfectly true. No Bends, or scratches whatsoever. They do have the occasional knicks but from what i remember but no stains at all. I do also remember one of the wheels had the clearcoat around the lip starting to show some wear. Again, i'll post pics if any interests.
Size: 18x8.5 for all 4. 5x120 bolt pattern (I believe that's what the pattern were)
Tires: not included but I did run a staggered 235/255 setup.
Extras: All lenghthened bolts included for proper installation. As well as the Carlsson supplied hubcentric adaptors (I don't know the technical term for them). Also included are H&R 10mm wheel spacers for the rear that cost me a pretty penny but it filled out the fender nicely. You may not need for a C Class however. The original Carslsoon center caps have never been removed from the plastic wrapping. I used the factory center caps from the OEM wheel. It's a conservative clean almost OEM look so they're not "Bling" by any means.
Looking to just get rid of them for a fair price. I'll entertain all offers. Local folks in socal get preferential treatment.
They're just sitting there in storage so might as well make another fellow MBWorld'er happy!

Dave OH: Oops, thanks for correcting. Its 5x112
rlee02135: Give me a couple of days to get close up shots of each wheel (need to drive to the storage area). That'll also give me some time to think of what $ i'm comfortable selling them at. I should be able to dig up some old pics of my car with the Carlsson's mounted in the meantime. Those can go up later tonight or tomorrow.
Additional info: I wiped them down at least once a week and they've been plastic wrapped while sitting in storage

i can't seem to find a way to edit my original post? I *finally* had a chance to take pictures this weekend. Been busy, sorry.
Anyway, i've noticed more imperfections from what i last remember but isn't that always the case
? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. High rex pics available upon request. I'm in socal local (Alhambra/Pasadena to be exact). Also, my cousin took the 10mm H&R hubcentric spacers for the rear but I also had to roll my rear fenders (see pic below). Won't need to roll without spacer.
Asking $900 OBO. It's just a starting price since i have no clue at all how much these go for now. I remember paying $3200 for them but I had good tires to boot.
i'll post them on eBay in a later this week if no PM's. thanks for looking

2002 E320 Special Edition
Is this a direct fit for W210 2002 E320? What tire size I be running on?
I am currently on factory 17" 5 spoke special edition similar to this and like it very much. It may works well with the latest Carlsson suspension kit upgrade recently.

I would also recommend 225-245 in the front and 255 in the rear.
I wish you were local so you can see fitment personally. fitment is relative though. I cannot speak to how far they "stick out". this was important to me.. so decide accordingly.
p.s. it's times like this i wish i remember what the exact offset is!

i forgot to include in this sale. two sets of H&R springs for the CLK W208. One set is pretty brand new one I rode on for about 30k miles before i sold my car. The later was cut .75 coil in the front to level the car. I'm taking offers and will let them go for cheap+shipping and/or paypal fees.
